Another Friday. In the words of Marvin Gaye, what's going on?
At work, I listened to Bob Marley's "Concrete Jungle" over and over. That song mesmerizes me.
As we warm up to 30 degrees, nice puddles of water start settling in the driveway. But that water can't evaporate since today is not the one day a week the sun comes out. That means tomorrow morning the driveway will again be one slick sheet of ice. I risk my life every time I go to get my car in the garage.
The TechRhet discussion list has reached its limit of uselessness. If this is ever was a place to discuss teaching, technology, writing, rhetoric, etc., it no longer is. Delete. Delete. Delete. Do I really need an inbox full of mindless drivel over Iraq, most of it completely uninformed? None of it relevant to the listserv's mission.
Bob Dylan has three shows coming up next month at the Fox Theater. Too bad I've given up going to concerts. I still remember seeing Dylan in Gainesville at the O'Connell Center. He didn't say three words to the audience. Maybe one: "thanks." WDET is running several Dylan songs in a row this afternoon in tribute.
I'm starting to like some of the spam I get. I got a nice one today from the "Ultimate Wealth Creation Tool." It promises a "Private Member Stock Game - Where Everyone Makes Money!" "This Patented Concept Has Never Been Seen in America Before!" Hmm. Foreign get rich quick schemes? I'm pretty tempted, what with an Assistant Professor's salary (and it's an Assistant Professor's salary at a Jesuit school!). Where do I sign up? Oops. They forgot that part.
