A restrained turkey club

After much anticipation, today I not only got to eat at the Faculty Center, I was invited to blog about it.

I was positively aquiver with anticipation.

As it turned out, the turkey club was unremarkable and therefore nearly unbloggable. I am still buzzing from the cherry cobbler three hours later, though. (Suuuuuuugar!) Furthermore, no comments were made about Johnson's lack of tenure other than to note the lack of comments about his lack of tenure; Hollander made only one off-color implication (not even enough to be called a comment); Russell proclaimed the potato soup "pretty good" and extolled the virtues of mixed-breed dogs (not at the same time); Sweetser contributed her "I can't believe you guys eat there" comment via Twitter approximately an hour before the meal.

I'd just told Hollander's students not to write for others for free unless it's a cause you really believe in, so... ummm... you guys owe me $10 for this post. (What's that? You paid for my lunch and validated my parking and I should shut up? Sheesh.)

Chicken .... elsewhere

Spent Friday grading at the Barnes & Noble and had coffee and a chicken sandwich there for lunch. Not bad at all, though a bit pricey. Herbed fancy bread, some sauce. Decent coffee. Good magazine to read.

That means I missed Friday at the faculty center and its best meal of the week: meat loaf (seen at right, pre-meal, lifted shamelessly from wikiland).

Waiting to see what Johnson does with all those receipts...

Also, there is a chance we may have a guest Monday, if she sticks around after guest lecturing in my morning class.

Third Person Tweeting

Things we learned:

• Hollander does not Twitter, but several believe someone should tweet for him. (Ghost tweeting?)
  
• Hume is ready to sing camp songs.
  
• Russell gets annoyed when Johnson steals her tenure line.
  
• Someone will, eventually, do a study on the contents of this blog for which they will not get doctoral credit.
  
• Also, lemon bars may have included lemon. Or at least been stored near lemons. Or lemon fruit pies.
