How to make a grown man cry: tell him that beyond all else, what you crave is inspiration. Tell him that it's one of the reasons you want to go back to school so badly. Tell him that that's why you've been able to get along through these long summer months as well as you have. Lost time spurs anxiety, which in turn inspires activity. Tell him that the crispness of Minnesota, who knows, something about the place, sharpens your brain and quickens your heart. Tell him that your life is alright as long as you're inspired by something.
Tell him that, and he'll shout YES! and then ask you to stop, please, because he feels like his life is running ahead of him barely allowing him to catch up and that if you keep talking about inspiration, he will realize his lack and start crying.
