Generation Gap

I saw this great cartoon the other day, and I wish I could reproduce it here. Alas, words must suffice.

Two couples were sitting at restaurant table--an older couple and a younger couple. The older couple are obviously enjoying their time together, talking and looking into one another's eyes. The younger couple both have their cell phones in their hands. The caption?

"I hope when we're old we don't just sit at a table not texting."

Pay Attention

I'm not an adventurous cook. I cook by the recipe, and I usually stick to recipes that are tried and tested, old favorites. I make a pumpkin bread that's pretty good, if I do say so myself. A couple of years ago my youngest son took some to work, and ever since then his boss has requested some at Christmas.

Well, if you've been reading this blog, you know that this Christmas I've been kind of behind. So, early Christmas Eve morning, in the middle of getting ready to go to my Mom's, I decided to bake the pumpkin bread.

I wasn't sure I had enough sugar, so I measured it out in a separate bowl to see. I did. I started putting the recipe together, but my mind was in a million places at once. As I slipped the bread into the oven, I happened to notice the bowl with the sugar in it pushed to the back of the cabinet. Yikes! I grabbed the bowl out of the sink, dumped the pumpkin bread mixture back into the bowl, added the sugar, then poured it into the pans again and slid it back into the oven.

About five minutes into the cooking time it hit me. I'd squirted dishwashing liquid into the bowl as I put it in the sink. Back came the pans out of the oven. Down the sink went the batter.

The moral of the story? Cooking does not lend itself to multi-tasking.

However, . . .

However, there is such a thing as too few bookshelves.

An Important Question

How are you supposed to take it when you run into someone you haven't seen since high school and the first thing out of her mouth is, "I would never have recognized you!"

I Don't Think So

I can think of at least one better reason.

Only in Arkansas

. . . or maybe Mississippi.


We were out riding Saturday, enjoying the beautiful country around Searcy, turned down a gravel road and saw this:


Hard to get business that way.

Just Place Your Order

Latest student email, received after sending the student a warning about excessive absences:

"Sorry for missing so much class. I meant to inform you last week but I forgot. I was wondering if I could get 2 excused absences for being sick and 2 unexcused for missing the other 2 days. I will be in class today and will do my best not to miss another day."

A Little Confused

I got an email from a student the other evening:

"On this assignment for tomorrow. I probably should already know this, but one inch margins is what Microsoft Word does, right? And double spaced, that means between the lines, right?"

Yeah . . . . right.
