Boot:
1. Cool.
2. (But) weird.
3. What's up with the heel? I'd ask how the hell one's supposed to walk with it, but I'm about 300 dangerous heels from that question. I just like the comfort (so typed the hiking shoes person).
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

So if I send in an email to work now and just say "I haven't been able to sleep and I think I'll stay home tomorrow,"
Heh. I suppose #3 isn't at all a lie!
{edited to make clear what #3 I'm responding to -- not used to having other morning posters around....]

I think she's at Hope. (She has taught at so many different colleges in the General Grand Rapids area - that I've completely lost track of where she is teaching now.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, someone here asked me if we get tomorrow off, and I was like, bwuh? Oh, right, Veteran's Day. Yeah, we don't care about the veterans....
This weekend's This American Life has a bunch of Studs Terkel interviews that were originally broadcast in 1971 about the Great Depression and whatnot. It's pretty incredible. If for no other reason, and I realize this is kind of stupid, but it's hard to remember and really "get" what my grandparents have seen and lived through.

If anyone is interested ina great memoir from the Great Depressuion era - I found, King of the Hill, fascintaing.
Did I mention here that I bought E books yesterday? The ones I gave him last night "When I am angry" (due to last weekend's violence and continued anger issues this past week) and "The Gas We Pass: the story of farts". He of course loved the second, but surpriosing even me, asked for me to read the first one twice. He really really is grasping for tools to use - it is really encouraging to watch.

The recycling coordinator did a waste audit at my building last week: [link]
I haven't heard the sound on the report, but I'm pretty sure the reporter doesn't mention the condoms...

My grandparents were farmers in MN during the Depression. Their life savings was in an old winter coat. When the house burned down, my grandfather infuriated my grandmother by asking if she'd saved the coat. She was like your children!! HOUSE.BURNED.DOWN. Who cares about the coat!!
Luckily, she'd been storing winter clothes in the old chicken coop (where they lived until they could rebuild.)
Nice visit with my brother last night. He was a bit nervous but psyching himself up for today.
