i just read this as i signed out of hotmail, so i have to put it up here because, sometimes real life is funnier than we realize.

¨ask a dating expert: 1. should she tell his wife? 2. loves him, hates his kids 3. torn between two lovers¨ i am not really sure if i need to make a comment about this or let it ride. i mean, wow. i think i am just going to let it be.

cline- i am sorry to hear about reagan, but i am glad to hear that she is recovering. sullivan has always been a good friend when it comes to eating something. i still recall this summer when i bought a breakfast sandwhich and placed on the kitchen counter (easily over 4.5 feet off the ground) and walked to the bathroom. when i returned the two were lounging in the living room, torn bits of wrapper barely hidden underneath their hides. less than two minutes, i am guessing about bites each, maybe less, and they had eaten the sammy and most of the paper. good times.

cuban, good to hear that all is well in flag. no snow is sad. and you have added a new job, which is interesting. what happened to carla? hopefully she is not ill but rather is gearing up for baseball season. who knows. ok, you do, but anyway.

let me tell you something julia, just bc i was living in san fran does not mean that i ordered the fresh and fruity. good try. where were you that night? i think megatron was there, which lends some credibility to your white night out theory, but i also remember paul, gerobe & meyers, mo-sleazy and a few other asian persuasions. fresh and fruity. if anything i ordered the truck driver special and was given the fresh and fruity, but i doubt that as well.

the heat has returned despite my protests. i awoke to a muggy morning and realized i had been living in a fantasy that would soon end. needless to say, i am nonplussed about it all.

i gave my level 5 students an exam this morning. when no one had finished it in the alotted one hour, i realized how long it had been since i actually wrote a final exam. five years ago when i was teaching in the o.c. virginia that is. swimming pools, movie stars (hum the beverly hillbillies theme with me). ok, there were not that many pools and even though my father claims to be ¨worldwide¨ because he landed a few seconds of screen time in a movie i have still never been able to sit through, ¨hush,¨ i dont think the movie stars tag fits either. so it is all lies.

my students were quite unhappy, so was i. oh well, i guess i should lower my expectations on that front as well.
