Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. Much candy to you, much GOOD candy!
And if you are dressing up your child like so:
Your child will be getting a jacket, some boy pants, and a poncho instead of said good candy.

I was in line at the grocery store today, getting very jittery because I was running late and the kids were supposed to get off the bus any minute and the line was not moving. Something about a boxed rack of ribs (??) being on sale, not on sale.

Back and Forth
Student:
Hi…. I have a question about the essay part of the test. I am not to sure of what you mean when you say “explain why we study it”,,,I am not real sure of why we do and I haven’t been able to find an answer. If you could help me with this I […]

Sunday brain obsessions

Online interviews are weird. But better than phone interviews.
Look, sir. It was a year ago. We are all over it and passed it. You weren’t even marginally involved, I can’t imagine your motive for […]

The Old: creeping
Both NB and I are noticing health issues, unrelated to each other, that are creeping up on us lately.
For me, it’s my asthma.
I’ve never really had much of an issue with it but my mother and sister have been made its bitch a time or two. I didn’t even know I had it until […]
On the way to Memphis this weekend
What are those giant white rectangles in the fields around here?
I don’t know, it looks…fluffy.
Like a big mattress.
Yes, like you could make stuff out of it, like shirts or soft things.
There’s more of it sitting in the fields. On plants.
What is it?
(it took much longer to figure out than it should have for two […]
This is Teh Dumb
From REDBOOK (noticed when reading Julia’s entry):
