We have to pick and choose our television shows (especially reality TV) because of our limited free time. We’ve watched the past few seasons of Dancing With the Stars but decided to forego it this year because the dancing, although good, is more flash and glamour than anything else. We prefer So You Think You Can Dance. On top of that Beauty and the Geek is currently holding our attention.

This all changed when I opened my mouth and mentioned to The Girl that one of my high school classmates, Cam Mathison, is on Dancing With the Stars this season.

“Who is he?” she asked. I showed her, her mouth dropped open, and now I am being forced to watch this season’s shows.

Cam and I took Calculus together and were in a tight competition for first place in that class. If memory is serving correctly, in the end he achieved a 99% and I ended up with a 98%. The curse of having smarts and looks–I know how he feels.
