Odds and ends

Here are a few random thoughts:

I've now watched two episodes of "Andy Barker, P.I.," and I think I like it. It's a quirky little detective show with a pudgy accountant playing the lead. "Raines," a new show with Jeff Goldblum, seems to hold promise, but I've had a hard time getting into the episodes. I may give it one more chance and then bail.

We're going camping in a few weeks, and I'm pretty excited. We are slowly picking up the supplies we need. Next up is a tent. The only thing that scares me is that the place we are going to camp has alligators. I hope they stay near the water.

This summer, we're heading out west for two months. My alma mater asked me to teach two summer courses. The money is good, so we're going.

I recently discovered the Cuban sub (sandwich). I like it.

Her Nibs is teaching me that a 2-year-old has a hard time distinguishing between "want" and "need." She also tends to answer questions like, "Why did you do that?" with "Because I did."

The longer I drink diet soda, the less disgusting it tastes.

it just seems so very wrong to alligators and campsite in the same sentence!
Have you considered a nearby hotel with pool? You could take your sleeping bag out to a grassy area while Plainbellied and her Nibs sleep soundly on the mattress.
yes?

The alligators are in the lake, which is not near the campsite. Of course, there are alligators everywhere here. They used to be endangered, and now they are a nuisance.

Actually, it was quite a wakeup call when I first moved to Florida. There were alligators living on the university campus!
