Hearing the Bowie/Crosby version of LDB is always winning in my book. It's still losing the LDB game.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good wishes, msbelle and family. We went through that extended not-quite-comatose-but-not-quite-responsive stagewith my mother-in-law. It's truly surreal for the family.

My rule is that if you recognize it, you lost. Even if it's just one "rump a tum tum" or whatever.

Hearing the Bowie/Crosby version of LDB is always winning in my book. It's still losing the LDB game.
These are my feelings as well.
Sending you guys love, msbelle. I hope there are some moments of peace and lightness during this process for your family.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Next year I'm instituting a Fairytale of New York game. You win that one by hearing it the most without intentionally putting it on.
In the spirit of Christmas you can put it on to up other people's scores.

I'm so sorry, msbelle. I wish there were easier ways to say goodbye to people we love.

I submitted final grades for the semester. So far, two emails from students who want to negotiate their grades. I'm figuring I'll probably get two or three more by the end of the day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just interviewed two people, and remembered one of my issues as an interviewer: When I like the person, I'm done in 20 minutes. Which doesn't really seem fair to the person who came all this way...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have interviewed student workers that I liked in 5 minutes! It is very embarrassing. I think they think they are not hired, but I often hire them. Of course, my requirement for student workers is mostly that I like them!
