The Wife accidentally spilled coffee in her purse late last month. I took it to the cleaners to have it taken care of, and picked it up yesterday, much to her joy.

#1597 – Looking Sick
I must look near death. I blame work. I was not made for this drudge-a-day life.
#1596 – Gummy
We eat beef jerky at our peril. And sometimes we have to floss to get it out from between the teeth, but we haven’t flossed in a while and it irritates our gums and causes them to get inflamed and we can’t tell if there’s still beef jerky between our teeth or if our gums have swollen and just happen to have the same texture as beef jerky.
#1595 – Testing
The Virginia Standards of Learning (or SOLs), as the end of course tests are called, are a difficult time for the students. For some, their score is not quite high enough for a pass, but it is high enough they can do an expedited retake in a week or two and hopefully raise their score high enough for a pass.
#1594 – Not Pasta Sauce
This is Adam’s fault.
#1593 – Pasta Sauce
It’s the only explanation for the mess she leaves in the kitchen.
#1592 – Mind the Gap
As bad as infrastructure is in the United States, you have to figure it’s even worse in places like the Mushroom Kingdom.
#1591 – Proctoring
It’s standardized test time again! Everyone loves standardized tests. Loves ’em.
#1590 – Impostor
I’ve been teaching for over a decade, and I still feel like a fake and an impostor every time I have to talk to my students’ parents. It’s annoying and I hate it.
