Misled

At lunch on my favorite day - Lemon Bar Day, Thursday. It had been
seemingly weeks since my last lemon bar encounter.

And then a dilemma -

The End is Nigh

Hume to Russell over chili and salad: 

It's time for the semester to be over because I'm even irritated with YOUR students.

Students, you've been warned.

A Very Lemony Bar

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?"
