All dressed up and it's starting to snow
This weekend I was supposed to drive an hour and a half to see my friends L and E and their new baby. It's a Saturday, my day to sleep in, and I got myself up at 7 so that I could go to the gym, pack, and make it to the driver's license place on the way down there before the snow really started coming down. I managed to run, lift, shower, and pack by 9. I put my coat on and looked out the window before I left only to find that it had started to sleet.
I'm not sure that I've had a more disappointing moment in my recent memory. I was all dressed up (including having blown my hair dry which I rarely do), but I decided that it might be safer to stay here since we're supposed to have 8 inches of snow. So, I did what any normal person would do on a day like today. I got back into my pajamas, pulled my hair back, and settled in for a day of movies and reading.
E called this morning to let me know that my college professor was on Fox News this morning. I got the call because I have an enormous crush on this professor because of his well-endowed...brain...really. To see what I mean, check out his book Union of Words. Or, look at some of his insights on the most recent presidential debates. I took a class with him called American Presidential Rhetoric. We studied presidential speeches throughout history (as you might have guessed). It was easily my favorite class in college because it was the most interesting and intellectually stimulating. This professor was one of the most knowledgeable and articulate people that I've ever met in my life. He was also the most approachable of all the professors that I had while I was in college. For the first time in my life, I was sincerely disappointed that I don't have cable. I couldn't have my professor pipelined into my living room to give me some intelligent company on my snowy Saturday morning.
I recognize that the abundance of hyperbolic statements and links in this email about my professor might make me look like a bit of a stalker, but I assure you that I was only using this opportunity to practice my html abilities...really. Plus, I don't have anything else to do now that I'm stuck here, all dressed up with no place to go...except the couch.
