More Misc. Mental Content

Unnerving: I've suddenly entered a phase of my life where I'm forgetting things and losing things. Neither of these two events are new when applied to wallet and keys, but books and student papers are a whole other animal. There's no "What to do when you start forgetting things" section in the Adjunct Manual.

Update: The chuckling students chuckle no longer. I do have some incessant text messagers, though. My patience with that is nearing its limit.

Result of Excogitation: Last week I was enjoying Hume. Now, after a record three weeks in a row of dealing with his high-Turbanness, I am exhausted of his meager vision of the world. Hume's favored methods of recovery from a long day of philosophizing include a pint and backgammon with friends. I might take his advice on the pint, but never on backgammon. (Right, AV?)

MV reports that he has lost a triple game and is succumbing to a series of vicious offensives from his better half. How about that.

How about that report comes from two experienced backgammon players. His better half beat the tar out of me, and the only game I won she "let" me win. No dice. Too small a sample.
