Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's not quite a "meet cute."
It's my kind of meet cute.
I cannot find my security badge this morning.
Grr.
On the up side, it's boots day (juliana Caterpillars, denim blue lace-up work-style almost to the knee). So that's something. Now to move my car out of the paid parking and buy myself some breakfast.
Someone has referred to him as Prof. Martinez. Is that wrong, or okay?
I don't think it's right, but it might also be a mistake that he's used to.
So, is today over yet? How about now?
Now?
My nephew has decided to go to college at ETSU and follow his Bluegrass music dream. I don't suppose anyone here is anywhere near Johnson City, TN?

Growing up in Maryland I was raised to say AppaLAYshun, but a friend of mine in college who grew up in Tennessee convinced me it was AppaLATCHen and I've never been able to go back.

Somewhere, in an alternate reality where we are all good people. But in this reality, we're bad people and are being punished.
Not over yet. I've done quite a bit of work though, so maybe it should be.
Thanks, Dana. I decided to change it and err on the side of caution.

I live within hollerin' distance of the Appalachians, and the version I hear 98% of the time is AppaLAYshun.
But we also have 2 neighborhoods in the city that people pronounce 2 different ways, so we're unreliable like that.
Cheviot = (1) SHEV-eeyut, (2) SHIV-ee-ut.
Mariemont = (1) Ma-REE-mont, (2) MARY-mont.
I say it the first way in both cases. (My brother is a smart ass and pronounces Cheviot as faux-French: SHEV-wah.)
Snow now? What's with Utah this year? Didn't you guys have relatively warm weather while we on the East Coast were digging out from record snows? I thought by this time of year, you all were supposed to go skiing in shorts.
For the past few years, our winters have shifted to later in the season. We'll get surprisingly balmy weather into December but have measurable snow into May. I was expecting this.

Who wouldn't?? You should hear me say Detroit.
I just had my last meeting for my now former job. Aw! I have to send some farewell emails and make a couple of calls, but that's it! Crazy.
