I am so leaving early today. Me and everyone else in my group -- it's been
that sort of week all around.
And speaking of things related to
driving home: yesterday, I saw a new level in tacky yesterday: a bumper sticker
that said, "Special Memory - Just Married - Las Vegas, NV". I mean, I can see
getting married in Vegas for any number of reasons, but a bumper sticker to say
so??
Also, I have learned something new about driving and lisening.
The Teaching Company has some good lecture
series on tape (or videotape, CD, or DVD). However, if you order a tape on a
subject you know a lot about (and you would, because those are likely to be the
ones you're most interested in) be prepared to do a lot of yawning or talking back
to the tape player (this particular prof asks a lot of questions he apparently
doesn't expect students to be able to answer) during the first couple of
lectures.
Off to the races this weekend! For some reason they have
combined two events, masters women's singles and open lightweight women's singles
into one, and now have two heats and a final. I don't understand this for several
reasons. 1) No other event has heats and finals, so why combine races? 2) I am
actually a master lightweight woman single rower. Who am I racing against? 3) And
in any case, why in the name of Nereus would you have the finals only about 20
minutes after the heats?
