I've been a crime stopper with CSI and Law & Order, but I never expected to be a Gleek.

The more I watch the more my old high school wounds heal. I actually believe Glee is an alternative to therapy. And there's no age limit to Gleekdom. At 51, you'd think I'd be immune, but I suspect there may be some 80-year-old Gleeks out there. Whether you loved or hated high school, you could become a geek for Glee -- i.e., a Gleek.

Ryan Murphy's widely diverse cast of straight kids, gay kids, short kids, tall kids, jocks and artsy types can heal high school wounds whether they were inflicted yesterday or 30 years ago. At Dunwoody High School in the Atlanta suburbs, Vice Principal Burns had everyone in Drama Club on his suspected druggie list. I didn't even drink until College. I was in Drama Club -- for the plays, while most of the kids were in it -- for the cast parties. So when Kurt, Rachel or Finn feel insecure, I'm right there with them.

Might our President be the Gleek in Chief?
