Typical Tuesday

Today's not Tuesday.
Yesterday was.
It wasn't typical, either.
ItalicIt is representative of the chaos that
normally occurs in our household.

Ugh. My typical Tuesday doesn't start until yours is half over, but it doesn't last too much longer than yours. So... I think that makes me a bum. :)

Psssh - I highly doubt you are a bum, Professor. By the way, what DO your students call you?? I miss your face. Aromas when you come back for a visit, please!
