"Much of my free time has been spent researching a college for my son and a car for my wife, both of which seem unfathomably expensive. I mean, have y'all looked at tuition these days? Wild to think about how much we choose to pay for things we won't use in five years. Well, unless you're one of those people who actually got a degree that was readily transferable to real life."
"We'll still be here for a while, I just don't know for how much longer. It's a young man's game, and I'm finding it more difficult to muster the energy for much more than one post a day. Between shorter attention spans and the need for ubiquitous coverage, I feel like a sit-down restaurant sandwiched between a bunch of fast-food joints."
The parent has spent free time researching a college for his son and a car for his wife and notes how unfathomably expensive tuition and vehicles have become. The son wants to study engineering and excels at math and science but struggles with writing; the parent helped edit a National Honor Society application essay and slipped in quotes from Curt Cignetti and Ben Johnson. The parent reflects on past academic strengths and weaknesses, hopes the Cubs can generate local buzz and revenue, and expresses concern about the sustainability of running the site due to waning energy and changing audience expectations.
