Yesterday, we made our annual ‘dump’ of computers. We ended up dumping exactly one metric ton (2200 lbs. for anyone who doesn’t know) of old computers, monitors, printers, TVs, etc. As we were leaving, Casey noticed a pile of bikes, and being the bike fanatic that he is, we went and took a look. He almost missed out on a Fuji bike frame, but it caught my eye, because it was orange. I just thought it looked neat, but Casey said it was a good bike, and he was pretty pumped. The truck we were driving in has no air conditioner, and the back window doesn’t close. When the truck is full, it’s not a problem, but once it’s empty, the dust comes swirling in the cab if you have the other windows open. It’s gross. Duct tape saved the day, and we had a nice cool trip back with all the windows open (except the back one, of course).

It’s that time of the year again. All the students leave, and we are still here. It’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring. I could cry. But I won’t…yet.

Sometimes, ‘older’ people say the best things. Most of the time, they just don’t realize how their audience is going to interpret things. Occasionally, they know exactly what they are saying, and it just knocks the socks off of you to hear them say it. Quote of the millenium: “Love your wife, love God, and keep your zipper up.” Very sage advice, but not something you expect from a very well respected ‘older’ gentleman. My wording may be a bit off, but you get the point.
