Okay, it was only 15 feet ... watched as Hollander, Hume and Hollifield ate at another table. Which sounds more accusatory than it needs to be, because I was there first eating with David Noah.
He reported the Chicken Supreme over rice is his favorite meal of the week. I'll have to ponder what mine is, but I don't think it's the Sicilian Casserole. It's serviceable, but not extraordinary. Meatloaf, perhaps the pepper steak. I'll have to think on this.

Live update
Hollander has made an inappropriate comment. Russell has noted Johnson
doesn't have tenure. Sweetser has been called a hater. And Hume hasn't
finished her salad. We must be about done.

Paper Lunch
Home for lunch again on Friday, trying to catch up on paperwork. Carried it to the kitchen table and carefully ate with one hand while shuffling through stuff with the other. Very exciting.
Okay, not exciting, but different. It may be time to take LATFC on the road ... if w get a nice day and maybe we should walk up the hill to see Walter Washington and his LaFonda Dogs ...

Two Lunches in One Post !
Thursday
Dr. A joins us for a delicious lunch. I think we need a blog posting in the form of a telenovela. Hunky dumb guy. Beautiful but twisted girl. The woman who is truly evil. Carolina can arch her eyebrow perfectly, so she gets the role of her choice. I'm sure there are a bunch of characters I'm missing, mainly because I don't speak a word of Spanish.
I had the required lemon bar. You taste lemon on the first bite, I've discovered, but not after. I suppose the bar's lemonness is only in contrast to a complete lack of lemonness before that first bite. Also on the scene were Hume, Russell, and Fink, none of whom had lemon bars, thus they cannot speak to lemonness.
Friday
Hollifield, Hume, Hollander, and Fink (who must now change his name to Hink if he's gonna eat with the H's.). Meat loaf good but not as good as I hoped. Greens bland, even after pepper vinegar. Mashed potatoes professionally mashed and lumpless.
Much discussion of pets, including the dietary and excretory habits of Hollifield's dog. Certain jealousy of said animal concerning duck for dinner, or even kangaroo.

More (semi) Free Lunches
Was only in the office briefly today, so lunch was at home. A simple Muenster and tavern ham sandwich with a little Cheez-Its Mix on the side. While eating I watched the end of some Titanic piece I've seen before on the History channel.
It reminded me of being at a theater on a Friday night a decade ago, working with a great reporter on a story about people going to see the Titanic movie over and over. We were talking with one girl who admitted this would be her seventeenth (!!!!!!!) time seeing the movie. The reporter, in a moment of brilliance, paused, looked up and said, "You know the ship will still sink, right?"
Every frame after that was a little out of focus ... the sandwich was good, not really assembled lovingly, but quickly, very quickly. Note to self and Mir: we're almost out of mustard.
Free lunches at the Faculty Center
Exciting news: this morning the UGA Faculty Center announced a new policy whereby the winner of the Tate Society Young Professor of the Year can eat free at the Faculty Center every day for a year.
In an amazing coincidence, Grady's own Dr. Kaye Sweetser is this year's winner. See you at the Faculty Center, Dr. Sweetser!!

Lunch at Home
Ate at home today. Scraped together an English muffin, some old sandwich meat, a slice of cheese, some lettuce, and called it a meal. I was judging a magazine web site contest and wanted to get that done before coming to the office.
Got them all judged. Just have to type up my comments. Examples include:
Got them all judged. Just have to type up my comments. Examples include:
- Maybe you should update your site more than twice a year.
- Is the site supposed to be cluttered, or were you going for that effect?
- Tell your bloggers to post more than once every two months.
- Those hundred links in a line are impressive. Categorize them. Help the user!!!
I'm such a sweet guy. It's comments like these that ensure you never get asked twice to judge a contest.
