Wow, G&M.  Good one.
Need more like this, if it inspires one or two kids out there to be "nerdy."  Mind you, Conner's comments are likely a turn-off for a whole lot more readers, but that's OK.  The way people are.

The guy is 40 but still talks and thinks like a kid...because his enthusiasm seems undiminished by time and all the challenges he's overcome. He's both blessed  and cursed. Take it from his wife, who hears this: "I want to do something hard..I want to spend extra long on it."  So much for enriching the husband-wife relationship...maybe not quite as much "passion" found there. Just can't measure up.  Hope she's understanding.

See, that's what I mean by "talks and thinks like a kid."  No mature adult husband would EVER admit those thoughts to his wife.

Sobering to think that the world in which we live is changed by people just...like...Conner Gottfried.
