Well, I am glad I was not out of touch in college. I remember when those students told me about it, they were shocked that I would even ask them to work on 4/20!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's fucking ridiculous, anyway. People have to work on St Patrick's Day, too!
When Steph was getting ready for the 5K, someone said to push yourself at the end, not at the beginning, which I think is really interesting to think about in general, but really applies to the marathon today! Look at the women's winner. [link]

The tornado warning has moved north of me. I used to go to my "safe place" when there was a warning, but radar is so pinpoint now that I just watch television.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We didn't do anything on 4/20 when I was in Madison. We just had the Marijuana Harvest Festival. where you could buy pot brownies from the co-op that was sponsoring the fest.
(The brownies were terrible, as they were made from carob instead of chocolate.)

Wow, so close!
I don't remember when I first heard 420, but it was longer than 15 years ago. It was not a thing when I was in college. Popularized early 90s, I'd say. I think all the explanations for where it came from have been debunked.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I still can't talk. Didn't make lunch today. People at work go to lunch without telling me therefore also not asking if they can get me (or other guy still here) anything. I wrote him a note asking him to get me a smoothie when they get back since I CANNOT SPEAK and he therefore cannot go until they are back, because phones.
No talking is depressing. At least for me.
Hearing office visitor just talk and talk and talk about a million things we do not need to hear about is annoying.

Especially when you can't even tell him to shut up.
Carob brownies just seem like a cruel joke.

Your students are strange creatures.
I just agreed to go to a Cubs game in May. It's free and I don't think I've ever been to a Cubs game, so I figure it's time.

I've been to a Cubs game. It was fun.
