Did you ever get a "how to build a hockey rink?" Both B & M did that one!

Ha! That's funny. Good topic for Minn-uh-snow-ta. I never got that one, but maybe that's because most of the Maine kids didn't actually play very much hockey. Maine had/has a great hockey team but most of them come from Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Canada. Of course.

Of course!

ps. The best part of E's blog entry for me was the response from the "boys". After she slammed them for the misspellings and such - they replied "Your welcome". Priceless. Do you think it was intentional?

We had an assignment like this in Grad school. "Pick anything" the professor said. Many in the class picked things that related to the education field, being we were all educators. The first seven or eight presentations were on Special Education. I presented "How to play Fantasy Football." The professor thanked me because she never understood what her 23 year old son was doing. I think she just liked the fact that my intoduction included the Monday Night Football theme song.

The guy who went after me thanked me as he started his presentation on "How to hunt and kill a deer."

I've never done a "how to" speech, but one of my favorite writers, Lorrie Moore, has a great series of "how to" stories in her book Self-Help. Stories include, "How to Talk to Your Mother," "How to Be an Other Woman," etc. A great book.

E!

Lu: that misspelling was totally intentional, its author informed me. the sad part is i didn't immediately notice it; he had to point it out. who's the english teacher? (hint: not him.)

This week in local eating

  • 6.4.10: From our garden, we're eating chard, greens, radishes, strawberries, and heaps of herbs. At the farmer's market we're buying the usual: eggs and lots of goat cheese.
