OK, I got all As, except for the bonus, always forget the damn bags, but I'm saving the paper ones to create a sculpture of Margaret Thatcher, which I shall then burn (environmentally safely). Not fair actually, as I live alone, except when I have my son and he's off to Berklee in a couple weeks, so he doesn't count. So for the most part my grocery shopping is the phone: 'Hello, I'd like a tremendously healthy yet low cal order of..." But if I had to grocery shop, I'd obviously be good at it, what with all my As. (No, I wouldn't)
