I was parked in my office yesterday afternoon, praying for Thursday (Spring break, woo hoo!!!) when I had the pleasure of overhearing the following conversation between two waifish female students. Well, I guess it wasn’t a conversation as much as a rambling monologue from one student and monosyllabic responses from another.
Kimmy: You know what would [...]

Sunday was a relatively nice day here in Jersey, with temperatures slowly meandering toward ‘not freezing’. In the afternoon, the sun was shining so Husban-dito opened some windows in the house.

How many phones does an average couple require? If Husban-dito and I are the rule of thumb, then EIGHT (8) would be the answer.
We actually have more phones than we have telephone jacks in which to plug them. We’ve resorted to three-way adapters that allow three phone lines to be plugged into one jack.
Downstairs we have [...]
