What we've been waiting for (05/02/16 2:12am) When I was five years old, I spent some extended time in the hospital—the details of which aren’t too important for this story, except that it was a long time, and it was a hard one. And I had some very specific ways of passing the time. I recall there was a lot of “Gilligan's Island” on Nick at Nite. There were endless rounds of Mario Kart on the Nintendo that was blessedly installed in the room. And there was “Mrs. Doubtfire.” http://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2016/05/what-we-have-been-waiting-for
