David - what a cool thing your college friend is doing for his daughter.
Geoff was one of my freshmen when I was an RA, so I'll always think of him as a gangly 18 y.o. It is strange to realize that the three year difference between a freshman and a senior (which was huge at the time) means he's almost 50 now.
All of my freshmen (and I'm in touch with a lot of them) still treat me with a bit of deference which is a relic of the origin of our friendship. It feels good, certainly, to know I'm respected that way. But also odd (vestigal?), as I'm not in a mentor type relationship with them as I was then.
I have very fond memories of hanging out with Geoff in the lounge watching Bugs Bunny cartoons and sharing X-men comics back in the day. He's a published writer now with two teen girls and just as sweet and funny now as he was as a kid.

(Unless, I guess, they close the public library. Would they do that?)
They might, although I don't know if 5-8 inches is enough to make them close it.
She's just had her third female student send her a "so help me god, I want you too much to be able to keep this to myself one second longer" email.
That's bananas. Now I want to know about faculty in general -- are most profs getting propositioned all over the place??
It was nice out, if kind of cold, today, but now it is colder and windy and blustery and staring to snow. No thank you.
It's sort of sleeting, and now they are saying only 2-4 inches, which is in that zone where maybe things are cancelled and maybe not. If school is cancelled but the interview is on, mr. flea can probably stay home with the kids, but I was planning to take the bus, and who knows what it will be like getting downtown by bus. I basically have to see what the situation is at 7am and deal with whatever's going on. Have I mentioned I do not like uncertainty and am feeling unprepared for this anyway?
Good luck, flea. Can you take a cab there if need be? (Then a bus home, assuming the timing isn't as critical?) I love a backup plan, myself....
le nubian, I'm sorry, what I should have said was: I can't imagine why not!
We have possible snow forecast for tomorrow. Which isn't that odd except for the part where I'm in NC. MI, sure, I've worn a parka over my Easter dress there a time or two. But NC?
