As I got out of the car we were in the process of temperatures dropping from the low 60s into the low 30s. It isn’t usually as noticeably dramatic as all that, but I can say that after class I went from my office to the gym and from the gym to my car and it was dramatic.<\/p>\n
And by the time I made it from the car to the restaurant it was cold. In the restaurant the staff was quoting Coming to America. <\/p>\n
<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\nSo I quoted it with them, which they found amusing. And then a lady asked me if I knew the name of the elephant in the movie. Like everyone knows the name of an elephant in a quarter-century old movie. I said as much online, where I soon learned that everyone knows the name of the elephant. <\/p>\nFirst day of class today. I had notes and had practiced the syllabus speech and all of the opening day material, as I always do. It never plays out in the classroom the way it does in my mind. So maybe I should just develop the syllabus and wing it from there.<\/p>\nIt is a fun class, though. We take field trips. I always enjoy this one. <\/p>\nIt is really cold now. The weather moves in tomorrow.
