A5/Woden pic

After seeing A5's pic I was going to make a joke about him having only the one girlfriend. But after seeing Woden's pic, I can see he's perfectly well off. Speaking of the superficial, that is. Good luck to you both in relationshipland.

(Thanks Judith)
(Thanks Woden)

Thoughtful 11007: Thanks for the guffaw today in the office!

FTR, I like Ikea, (except when it's too crowded), and I like eating there too. Great coffee. I like figuring out the shortcuts. I don't think Vegas has a store yet, but when I furnish the house there, I'll truck stuff in from San Bernardino.

How can this be--a vodka made in France and named Grey Goose?

11019. anomie - 8/19/2004 8:09:02 AM

Don't know. Nice bottle though.

Must be good stuff. Says "imported" right there in plain english.

11020. Magoseph - 8/19/2004 8:15:52 AM

It is weird, though, Ano, I mean that it's imported from France. By the way, I didn't know you had grown kids. How many, do you mind telling me?

Hey all.

Great picture, Res.

Had my first day with students. Much better load than last year with several very small classes.

Bob killed a copperhead in our garage yesterday. Now I'm afraid to go to the van to go to work. It doesn't seem to bother me in reverse when I'm getting out after coming home from work.

11022. anomie - 8/19/2004 9:12:40 AM

Hi Arky,

Thank goodness for teachers like you who go back year after year without actually murdering any of the students.

11023. Magoseph - 8/19/2004 9:15:21 AM

Good evening, Arky. Have you seen this post Message # 10969 from Ohio?

11024. anomie - 8/19/2004 9:19:58 AM

Mags,
I really know zip about Vodka, imported or otherwise, (except how to drink it, that is). It is a strange name for a French product though. But then, there's that restaurant named the French Laundry. What's that about.

Kids: A boy and girl (man and women) a year apart, both living in Florida, which is another reason I took this job instead of loafing out west. We were very close when they were young, and we've managed to stay that way despite my moving around. It's nice to be closer to them here for a while.

Female Olympic vollyball players wear bikinis, I see. Nice sport. Ha!

11026. Magoseph - 8/19/2004 9:23:39 AM

Ano. how far are you from them?

11027. anomie - 8/19/2004 9:29:29 AM

About 350 miles. A good few hours drive. I've been down twice, and the route is pretty easy. Its the Orlando area. They grew up in Ft Lauderdale and moved up to Orlando about ten years ago.

11028. angel-five - 8/19/2004 10:13:43 AM

Gray Goose is good stuff.

11029. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 11:41:07 AM

Anomie,

Really truly (I'm not trying to convince myself or anyone else, I promise), kids are no problem. I love teaching and my job would be stress-free if that's all I did. Unfortunately it's only a fraction of what I do any more, and it gets worse every year. If I'm ever driven to murder it will be from State Department frustrations. Get Judith to sent you my web address, btw, and you'll see some of what I'm talking about. I have your addy somewhere, but I don't exactly remember where. ;-)

11030. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 11:42:48 AM

Mags,

Thanks! I did and I responded, because I'm particularly interested in what Ohio does since we have a contracted group studying school facilities for the state here, and from what I read the work they did in Ohio was not good. Our Ohio may be able to shed some more light on that. We talked about it a bit this summer.

11031. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 11:45:53 AM

BTW, did you all see my post that THERE WAS A COPPERHEAD IN OUR GARAGE?

I walk in there every day. It was small, too. I wouldn't have noticed it.

11032. judithathome - 8/19/2004 11:50:47 AM

Arky, I noticed! Gads, I'm so glad we didn't see any when we were there...Keoni grew up fearless of snakes because there are none in Hawaii so there is no telling what he would do with a snake around. He likes to hold them, can you believe it?

11033. arkymalarky - 8/19/2004 12:03:02 PM

Sounds like our friend Louie from Detroit who suddenly grabbed a mushroom from under a tree one time and bit a big chunk out of it. Bob about had a heart attack. Luckily it didn't do anything to him.

We've seen way more than usual, I guess due to how wet it's been. That's the closest to the house, though. Ugh.

11034. angel-five - 8/19/2004 12:04:46 PM

Arky: All I can say is thank god it didn't get into your car. They like the inside of cars for some reason, I guess because it's a steadier temperature.
