'Hell Bound'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's pretty cool, Connie.
I wish I'd gotten pet insurance for my cats. Probably could still get it for Frankie. Have never put in the time to figure out if it was worth it.
How many Threadless Muppet t-shirts can I crave before it gets ridic? I'm at four. Ish. [link]
I received an envelope today with the postmark of Eugene, Oregon. There is no return address. Inside that envelope is an unlabelled clipping from a newspaper bearing information from my home county in Pennsylvania. And on that clipping is a picture from the Spraggs School in 1930, with my father and my aunt in a group of kids. I have no idea who sent this to me, but thank you very much.
News from press conference: Paterno is no longer head coach of the football team, and Spanier is no longer president of the university. I don't know yet exactly what that means.
Oh, wow. I wonder if that means fired, or something else.
Sounds like it means fired.
From what I've seen of both of them, I think that Paterno will walk away quietly, but Spanier will make things ugly.
Someone in my tweeters said fired, but it's a responsible journalist someone and not a random someone, if that helps.
I'm watching the press conference on local TV now.
Iiinteresting.
I'm amused that my sorta-hippy-conservationist-organic/peace-corp-naturalist neighbors' wedding celebrations out in the midwest was SO midwestern, as evidenced by their pictures. Silly stupid wedding games, casseroles, etc. It's funny, cause I can't see either of them doing that here AT ALL, but both of them are from ND with family now relocated to MN, so they had the wedding out there. And apparently embraced their roots.

This morning I wrote, scanned, and sent a letter to your Board of Trustees, reminding them of their responsibilities. I had a faculty meeting at lunch and discovered five other people who had done the same.
When I got back to my office I got an email from the Trustee's listserve noting that they could only process 900 emails an hour, and mine had not been delivered yet. It was delivered four hours later. So we know that they have been getting plenty of advice.
Wow.
