New Beginnings
--Mr. & Mrs. Bigwig had a bouncing baby boy & the birth was blogged.
--Scott & Ellen are preparing for the imminent arrival of their baby girl.
--Andrea just celebrated her 40th birthday.
--Mike's 50th birthday is tomorrow....woo-hoo!! Getting closer to that AARP discount! He's also passed his CISSP exam. Massive congratulations are in order.
--I return to the wonderful world of "higher" education Tuesday....Intro to Computer Information (Office XP) & College Algebra for the first summer semester. My excitement is underwhelming. I had to take algebra to get into programming classes later, and I couldn't talk my way out of the XP class since I use Word Perfect, not Word...and the last spreadsheet class I had was Lotus 1-2-3 back in the 80's when it was still DOS based. Grumble, grumble, bitch bitch. I was flipping through the book and noticed towards the end we will learn how to re-name files! How exciting. Won't be a total loss as there is some introduction to Excel & Access, which I've never used but will be taking classes on later. But still, I suspect I'll be bored silly through most of that class. And you know what they say...idle hands are the devil's workshop.

I had to take a class this past semester that I could have taught.
Idle hands are, indeed, the devil's workshop.
The sad thing is -- I got a "B" in that class. Largely because the subject matter had very little application in the real world, and I just couldn't stay tuned in.
