Cleaning out my "professor" office today.  Having the exams shredded, the ancient texts carted away, and selling off the marketable books to a book buyer (scandal!).  A lot of folks around here think selling to book buyers equates to an act of immorality.  They can suck it ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago I told you all about getting my metabolism measured.  They set me on a diet that should have me losing about 3/4 of a pound a week.  At first, nothing much happened, except that I was astounded by how much I was encouraged to eat ( Read more... )
