Though he played his guitar with vigor, it was often out of tune. Sometimes it had only one or two strings.
This line from Jake's obit just broke my heart. A great metaphor for just gettin' on with it. Bless him.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

Today got off to a good start—the first e-mail I read after getting to work was Big Boss telling me I was amazing and waxing complimentary about some technical illustrations I sent out last night.

Feeling so antisocial recently. Not really a problem when it comes to my classes, but it is a problem that I'm not sending emails and making phone calls and inquiries about class visits and product purchases that I really need to.

Is it just me, or does this name feel a little porny? (without the asterisk, of course, which I put in to fool the google)

Oh, Emily! I just thanked you in my heart a few minutes ago!
Somebody here asked me about the difference between "i.e." and "e.g" and I told him which is which, and I told him the trick I use to remember it, which is totally your trick that you posted in a Natter thread, many many threads ago (that "e.g." is "for example" with the trick of "for egxample", and "i.e." is "in other words" because it starts with an "i"). Thanks! See what a great teacher you are?
