Had the most lemony of lemon bars today. Still hungry after my meal, I went for a cup of coffee and a lemon bar. Hume also went for a cup of tea.
Lemon-spiked tea.
Coincidence? I wonder . . .

Roofs and Discs
Johnson and I ate a quick lunch at TFC. Hume suspiciously absent, no doubt recovering from her Left Coast visit. I had the veggie lunch: rosemary potatoes (kinda chewy), carrots (nicely done), and green beans (no real taste at all, but they were green).
Discussion of legal and financial and ethical and criminal strategies involving certain individuals not of the Athens area, with no real solution reached. Also discussed roofs. And did higher level math, figuring out what a bejillion megs of digital photographs would look like if you stuck 'em on 5.25-inch discs and stacked them into what turns out to be (if our math was right) something like 900 feet high. Checked office later for said type of disc for a later show-and-tell. No luck.

From the mouths of babes...
Despite the tragedy that befell Johnson on Thursday, the Eatery did provide its patrons with lemon bars on Friday.
My daughter, who is almost 4, made her first (and last?) visit to the Faculty Center on Friday. After much deliberation, she chose macaroni and cheese, black-eyed peas, and a lemon bar for lunch. After she pretty much cleaned her plate, we turned to the great lemon experiment. Hume and I, being scholars, probed her reaction to the lemonicity of said bars. Her response:
"Where is the lemon in this?"

Stunned Silence
I suppose it is entirely possible that the last entry demoralized all of us so badly that we have sulked off into silent corners. Which, to be honest, is pretty much true ... But the final insult happened on Thursday, the one insult that could make me not lament the loss of The Eatery, the one that could let its demise come to be without a single protest.
It was Thursday, and there were no lemon bars. Not. A. One.
I suffered through the cherry pie which, to be fully honest, may have had a higher level of lemonicity than some of the lemon bars of the past.
Criminal, border line criminal.

BREAKING NEWS: FACULTY EATERY TO CLOSE
An inside source with knowledge of the University of Georgia Food Services empire has confirmed that the Faculty Eatery will close around June 1, 2009. The source said the closing was due to multiple reasons, including persistent financial losses and health code issues.
The replacement space will be on the fourth floor of the new Tate II center, scheduled to open in 2009. The new eatery will forego the oak paneling and cathedral ceilings in favor of an open floor space.
The third floor of Tate II will also feature a food court, complete with a Barberitos and an Inoko Express-like stand.
Fears are already spreading that this will hasten the retirement of Prof. Conrad Fink.
