Nobody Guessed It . . .

my tv show, that is. Well, the mystery continues. Today I'm going down the thruway to New Jersey, where I will:
cut my mother's hair
eat overcooked lamb (Aunt Grace's special)
not get to NYC to see Andy because I have forty papers in my backpack to grade
see my Jersey friends at Pri's house on Sunday night
get more sleep than I get at home

After this weekend I'm staying home to do yard work, I swear. In other news, I had to have a stern talk with a student yesterday. As I was talking sternly, I thought of my former student with whom I had dinner on Wednesday. He told me that I get a look that says something like "don't waste my time" when students who haven't come up with the goods try to get me to do what they want. I know of no such look, but I've heard this tale before. I tell people it's my Jersey face. Jess, you never saw such a look; don't ask Nicky if he did (hehe).

I sometimes wonder why some students can't just do the work, get it over with, and move on. Yesterday's student told me that he just forgets about my class: no comment. Being a teacher is always interesting, I'll say that.

I also found out from a bus com student that the business major adviser tells all the students to take bus com from me. Then later in the semester, when he asks them how they're doing in classes and they tell him that they're doing great in all but one class he says, "let me guess, Murphy's class." Life is funny.

So, when I come back after three days of intermittent internet service, will I find more haiku? I hope so.

Welcome to a new blog follower, I hope. Daughter Pin has joined the 21st century and got herself a laptop. So, I expect responses from her, witticisms, nothing tell all. We'll see. She's adorable, but hardy a computer fan. If you do check my blog, welcome Pin. And if you get a google account (I'll explain what google is later) you can post to it. I love you.

Happy Easter/Passover/whatever everybody. No more Friday fish soon. Did you remember to sell your Chametz? Yeah, I got that off the Internet.

Peace
