I'M NOT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL FOR MAYONAISE

Terry and I were fixin' supper tonight. He needed mayo, but I left it in the fridge at school in my lunchbox with the tuna. That's the way life can be when there's a teacher in the house. Need the hammer? Needle and thread? Scale? Just about anything useful? Too bad. They live in the classroom now. Even my DVD player was stolen by the classroom last year, but the apartment had temporary custody over the summer and hasn't sent it back yet. Does your job steal your stuff, too?

NET BRAIN

Ryan and I grilled steaks and watched The Day After Tomorrow. While watching, I realized that one of my favorite actors - Ian Holm - is in that movie. I really noticed him after watching him play Napoleon in The Emperor's New Clothes. He's been in 110 movies & TV shows. Can you imagine? I'll bet he'd have a hard time listing them from memory. While Ryan and I were talking about Holm's impressive number of roles, Ryan admitted that he couldn't remember all the parts he'd played over the years. I guess it would be like me trying to remember every child I'd taught. At least Holm can look himself up on IMDB. Don't you wish every cool thing you ever did was listed on a website? Is that why half the world seems compelled to blog?
