    Today has been kind of odd. I skipped out on my Sunday morning workout and walked around in Mill Race for about three hours.  I got there around 7am.   It was a bright and beautiful day, but couldn’t get above 65 for some reason.    With the wind, it was kind of chilly, but in… Read more

    Tomorrow is the Disney holiday – May fourth  –  as in, “May the fourth be with you.”   Cheezy as heck, but Disney made it huge when they started releasing the new Star Wars movies. I don’t think they really promote that anymore, but a scar has been left on that day.    Thanks, Disney! New… Read more

    Tomorrow, I need to take my fakey Boniva.  It’s not the named branded stuff, but I guess it serves the same purpose.    Okay, it’s not tomorrow.   Rather May 1st. Tomorrow I see Endgame with little bro and sister after going to the gym with little bro. Experiment —- Actually going to try to free… Read more

    Okay. So, this week is – Sunday –  half me day Monday – full me day Tuesday – going all in with both siblings to watch Endgame Wednesday – me, I guess Thursday – Little sister day Friday – me day. New class on Wednesday. It’s another 102, but the co-teach this term doesn’t seem… Read more

    I’ve been feeling pretty odd lately on several different fronts. It’s about time for me to return to Florida, as per Jason and my agreement from February.  I’m supposed to go down there for a couple of months and then both of us head back to Indiana in late July for Gencon and his vacation.… Read more

    Saving throw failed. I didn’t see Us today, but I kind of knew I wasn’t going to when I finished the blog yesterday.  But, you know, that’s okay. I’m kind of used to getting my hopes up and then letting myself down.   It’s a tedious process but makes it sweeter when I actually do follow… Read more

    I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I can see the faded green coming back in winter scorched tree bark….. ………. Grrrr… I love spring, okay. Spring is coming, but it hasn’t sprung just yet. It’s trying.   Starts of Easter Lillies are pushing up from the grown.   There’s green.   I see buds… Read more

    Today is the last day of the first week of the March semester. Geez, that sentence just looks weird, doesn’t it? The good thing is that I have a co-teacher to share my ENGL102 misery with.   102 is the next to lowest English class.   It generally involves a lot of hand-holding and really panicked students. … Read more

    This is really kind of an odd day. I decided to stay in instead of sneaking out to the gym for four hours. I think it made mom happy.  I tend to never ever ever spend a full day at home  … which is a sever change in my personality that was brought about by… Read more

    Yeah, okay, I’m a sucker. I accepted that guy’s super late and ‘hey you’ email.  It didn’t change the outcome so I didn’t have to bother with a change-o-grade form.  But, it’s done and graded.   I’m hoping that he’ll learn a non-existant lesson to be more considerate to adjuncts in the future, but who am… Read more
