You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

It's good news about your blood test, bonny!

I stopped at the co-op to pick up some challah for tonight and a couple other small items. The bill was $7.57. I handed the clerk $20.57. She typed into the register that I'd given her $200.57 and she couldn't figure out how much change to give me. It was painful.

To make up for yesterday's clueless patron, I had the nicest, most polite patron ever today. He was sprinting to open doors for me as we gathered what he needed around the library.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The bill was $7.57. I handed the clerk $20.57. She typed into the register that I'd given her $200.57 and she couldn't figure out how much change to give me. It was painful.

I can't tell you how many times I've had a clerk call me for help with this same question. As if somehow the register will know that you didn't put in a hundred and give change for it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

OMG, I miss good Challah. I used to live five minutes from two kosher bakeries and this is what I miss most about living up here.

I just got an email from one of my students informing me that "we HAVE to be allowed to use calculators on this test." Um, no.

Sometimes I think about you and Vortex and I despair for the youth of America.

But then on the flip side there's also the K-Bug's of the world so not all college students are ignorant and entitled.

All is well that ends in pizza.

But... but... how will they know that $20.57 minus $7.57 is $13, Hil?

To cite a random example.

What she actually wants to use is a graphing calculator. We're doing polar coordinates, which are a bit tricky to graph, but I've done some examples in class and gone over the general method several times.
