Health status: Still here. Still sickly, but there are moments of improvement. Then I make the mistake of thinking I can stop taking pills.
Twenty-two minutes later I can’t breathe again. So back to the pills. Four minutes later the chest-quaking, throat-burning, head-aching coughs return. And so there’s the Nyquil. To keep the bugs guessing, I sometimes change it up for Robitussin.
I’ve taken enough of this stuff that I’m beginning to acquire the taste. This should be a gustational impossibility, so you do what anyone would after drinking the stuff for several days: check the expiration date. Still valid, so it must be me.
I can’t taste much else just now, but the Robitussin, well, that’s just got a hint of a cherry and an undertone of oak.
Breakfast with The Yankee this morning at the local breakfast place. This is a rare treat that we’ve come to enjoy. Fresh biscuits, tasty bacon and a leisurely time to sit and chat about nothing of consequence. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially if there is a BLT involved.
Spent about five hours working on a math for journalists lecture. That’s always one the students love. “Math? I’m in a writing major!”
I can sympathize. Felt the same way, but then you find yourself writing a story, or a press release and there’s percent changes and per capita and then you have to mix that with things like strong verbs and now you’ve found yourself writing with numbers. It has happened before.
So that was a lot of today. The numbers have to be just so.
Returning to an old feature that hasn’t yet been completed. Here’s the resurrection of the Glomerata covers:
These are annual volumes of the Auburn University yearbook, which I collect. Here are three new additions to the Glomerata section as we begin the sometimes tumultuous 1960s.
Since this hasn’t been here in a long time, you might need a refresher. Start at the beginning, here. For a more detailed look at some select Gloms try here.
The plan is to return this to a regular weekly feature until we work our way through the full list of covers. This will take some time.
Also, the September photo gallery has been completed. And, for good measure, the October photo gallery is up and running.
And now to write a math exercise …
