vw, I'm so sorry you're in pain. I'm wondering if you know of someone who can walk the dogs for you -- get them out of your hair for a bit and get them tired. I know it sounds silly for the dog-sitter to hire a dog-walker, but I think it would be money well spent in this case.
At today's talk by the librarians to the 1L students, we followed the Provost's welcome. At the end of his speech, he was discussing how he felt this university was special because of the way it concentrated on the teacher/student relationship and that "everything else is superfluous! The library is superfluous!" And so we had killed him. Obviously.

So? What should be the new definition of "Lady"?
Someone who can do whatever they want, but manages to accomplish it all while wearing petticoats? And who will stab you with a hatpin if you piss her off?
I can roll with that.
vw, I think Sparky's suggestion is a wise one.
The library is superfluous
I think you should lend him one of your finest dictionaries, with a note to look up "superfluous." Bonus points for "You keep using that word..."
(two princess bride allusions in two posts!)
Bonus points for "You keep using that word..."
"... and I'll keep smacking you with this dictionary?"
He's an odd fellow. Last year's welcome speech had a vignette about him in a bathroom with a child. And then I covered my ears.

lisah, I knew you'd love Lady Sailor! I wish I could send you a clip of the guy saying it - is adorable. Kind of like "Leddy Say-lah."

Well, your university's people do have a certain reputation . .
Kerfuffule Bunny just blew my mind!
Hee. Was there really a Ronnie Jenkins?

No, I made that name up.
There were "Ronnie Jenkins" equivalents.
