  • Hunters and Gatherers, Part Two

    Or Why Women Are Smarter Than Men...Woman are multi-taskers. They can do a bunch of different things at one time and not skip a beat. I'm sure many of you can remember your mothers doing ten different things when you wer…

  • Hunters and Gatherers, Part One

    Or Why Women Are Smarter Than Men...On these Xanga pages, I often complain about the amount of work I am assigned. I am not trying to elicit your sympathy--although a few pats on the back go a long way in alleviating my …

  • Message in a Bottle I

    I have been on Xanga for almost three years and the number of people I have come in contact with is rather staggering. I don't think I can put a number on it, but there are more than a handful I have communicated with th…

  • I Swear, I'm Normal... Sorta

    Really. I am not abnormal. I am not some Cleanliness-Is-Next-to-Godliness Nazi trying to sterilize the world (see yesterday's entry). If anyone one of you were to come to my office, you'd notice it is a mess. I have been…

  • I Won't Be Shaking His Hands

    Previously, I have written about the bad urinal habits of some men at school. I hate the idea of toilet plumes filling the air with little droplets of urine. Even more, when someone lacks the courtesy to flush his own p…

  • Work Is Never Done: Finals

    Well, for those of you wondering, I finished grading on time--with a couple of seconds to spare. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Many of you were right: Things that need to get done, will get done somehow. This is…

  • If It's Not One Emergency...

    I have to admit that I really suck at organizing my life. I put off my taxes to the very last moment but luckily get them in on time. Now its back to real work. I know that I have a lot of grading to do. So what do I do?…

  • Have You Filed?

    I t is 11:20 PM, April 15, 2006. I have just sent in my Federal Income Tax Return electronically. Since the 15th falls on a weekend this year, the filing date is actually Monday, the 17th. But there is something about ge…

  • April Showers...

    May bring May flowers to some, but to me they bring on the start of allergy season. I sucks, I tell ya', totally sucks. The pollen in the air is thick and every orifice in my body is a waiting receptacle for these nasty …

  • On Dating... as if I'd know...

    Being old(er) suggests more experience. And at 50, I have had my share of experiences. Some of it good, lots of it bad, all of it learning. Of course, that doesn't mean I've learned my lesson well. I have bumbled my way …

  • Hoot, Hoot

    I have turned my life cycle upside down. I should besleeping with the rest of the world, but I have been grading papers forso long at night that this is a part of my day now. I will go to sleepat 4 AM, 5 AM... sometimes …

  • One Win Away...

    Well, we climbed the mountain, but we couldn't get over the top. Congratulations to the Flordia Gators. They were definitely the better team tonight as they just whooped our butts royally. I don't even remember the score…

  • NCAA Finals, Baby

    We have climbed the mountain. All season, we wereinjured. We were under-rated. No one gave us a shot of being REALLYgood. But, last week, the Bruins held 80-points-a-game Memphis to45 points. Yesterday, Saturday night, …

  • Don't Get Fooled Today

    Last year, as a gag, I posted an entry that suggested that our school was downsizing and Japanese was one of the sacrificial lambs on the altar of practicality. Our school had already eliminated the TESL program, Peace S…
