Stay of Execution: Belated Requests: Misc. Quickies

Some more requests:

1) Tell us a joke. I don't remember jokes very well. Is this a female trait? I think I'm funny and I laugh a lot with my friends but I almost never tell jokes. The last joke I heard (last summer, I think) that made me laugh is the one about the pirate with the steering wheel in his pants. You can find it, and many others, here.

2) Are you still paying back your law school loans? Yes. I have about $40K in loans. It's a burden, but not a crippling one. That was part of why I decidGood Riddance Projected to go to UMaine. I didn't want to be trapped by loans into doing something I really didn't like. I am very, very grateful that I don't have a higher debt burden. It means the freedom to choose a life I want. That's a big deal to me.

3) What is the status of the Good Riddance Project? The was an undertaking with a specific timeline, in January of 2005. We didn't repeat the Good Riddance Project this January, opting instead to do a boot camp during those two weeks. But we could have done some decluttering. Clutter creeps back. It never sleeps. Today I am actually on my way to a friend's house to help her declutter. It seems somehow easier when it's someone else's junk, and when you make specific times to do it. That's why having a friend help makes it more effective. Maybe I should make some dates to do it myself, now that Neighbor and 517 have moved out. It won't happen until May, though. I have very little time to myself right now.

4) Is it true that the food at Bowdoin is the best on any campus? It's the best on any campus I've been. It's very high quality. It's not haute cuisine, but the ingredients are fresh and there's a good variety and things are well-made. The students like it. People are happy -- including the dining hall employees, which is not something I've seen before. I haven't eaten at too many colleges, but I suspect there aren't many places as good as this.

Comments

Hehe, I looove the pirate joke.

This is the last funny one I heard, and I tell it everywhere I go.

So there are two muffins baking in the oven. One of them turns to the other and says, "Hey! Hot enough in here for ya?" and muffin #2 exclaims, "HOLY $#!*! A TALKING MUFFIN!"
