Sean, what's it like to have your town suddenly overrun by academic medievalists?

I grew up in a community of academics, so all that stuff was just seemed like weird parental habits. When I was 17, my mother observed, "You know, Sean, since your father left, I've only dated men with Ph.Ds."

Naturally, being a typical rebellious child, I ignored my mother's attempts to teach me piano, classical music, gourmet cooking, German language, and opted instead for very bad habits that it took a stint in rehab to rid me of.

Now that I'm pushing 40 I regret not realizing how lucky I was to have such goofy, intellectual adults all around me who cared about such interesting things. That said, for a teenager the decision between smoking a joint behind the high school and another lecture on Medieval land reform is a no brainer. Pun intended.
