… that these chocolate cupcakes you sent me to the office with this morning (because you can’t eat dairy) are terrible. Just … awful.
I think one habit of highly successful professors is to answer a question with another question ….
For example, one of my physical chemistry professors once answered the question, “Shouldn’t we set a data rejection region before starting the experiment?” with the question “Why won’t you stop hitting yourself?” But the student couldn’t stop hitting himself because the professor was hitting that student with the student’s OWN HAND. Consequently, we all learned a LOT that day ….

There was a debate about this? Really?
Do we also debate whether or not to wear hats on our feet and shoes on our heads?

Jessie and I are grateful for the food everyone has brought us lately …
… so that we only have to worry about feeding Eli. We’re eating like diamond-tipped-swagger-stick-wielding plutocrats, and even our bread is no mere bread: The package informs us that it contains an “elegant neo-Tuscan demi-loaf.” Pretty swanky! Thanks, everyone.

Yoga Pants
Jessie: No worries. None of your yoga pants match my mesh “Dukes of Hazzard” tank top or my “Hello Kitty” leg warmers.

Wishful Oneiric Conversation with a Baby
Man: I do not know whether I dreamt I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
Baby: Neither. You’re a man hallucinating that he’s a 4th-century BC Chinese philosopher having an ontological crisis.
Man: Really?
Baby: Really. You’re so sleep deprived that five minutes ago you thought you were Vic Tayback on the set of “Alice.”
Man: Wow ….
Baby: Yeah. Wow.
Man: I should get some sleep.
Baby: Not until you feed me and clean up my poo.
Man: ….
Baby: You okay there, chief?
Man: WHY CAN’T I JUST BE A BUTTERFLY TONIGHT?

In Eli’s defense …
… if I couldn’t eat without two giants 20+ times my size kissing my head, I’d probably wet my pants during mealtimes too.

I suspect that my love of dogs/puppies is a manifestation of my paternal instincts ….
Because I just told Eli that he’s a “good dog.”
