First Day of Classes – Spring Term
smokingpen | April 30, 2008
Well, today was my first day of classes for Spring Term. Technically, yesterday was the FIRST day of classes, but I slept through yesterday so that makes today my first day of classes. Today was the start of Doctrine and Covenants and Deductive Logic where we learned (in 25 minutes or less) what an argument really is. This was illustrated by a Monty Python sketch where John Cleese and one of the other Pythons (no one could remember which one) were having a five minute argument. The not-John Cleese character stated, essentially, an argument is a conclusion supported by assertions. This was funny. We laughed. The professor (who is defending his thesis this summer – I think) shared some additional examples of arguments and not-arguments and then class was done.
On Obama

The other day I was speaking to my mother who had, in turn, spoken to an old family friend. The friend said something to the effect of, “Obama is not patriotic,” and then backed that up with he does not salute the flag and he does not pledge allegiance. As a result, a vote for Obama is a vote for someone who is anti-American.
Hatch Art

Okay, I would take a picture of the hatch I put into the ceiling of the bathroom, but don’t really enjoy taking pictures and posting them on this website. Doesn’t mean that Erin won’t, I don’t’ know if she will or not, but… you know, that’s up to her whether or not she wants to show the world what I did. And yes, this is a lot like refrigerator art.
The Hole in the Ceiling

So, when Erin moved into our apartment a bit over a year ago we discovered that there was a water leak from the upstairs and, in order to prevent mold and other things, I tried (at first) opening the panel in the ceiling and then ended up putting my fist through it and breaking it out. The outcome is that there has been a hole in the ceiling for some time now with Erin tacking up a pillow case (that is now in the garbage) to hide the hole.

Final Words
smokingpen | April 25, 2008
Well, James graduated yesterday and today. My parents got Erin a Graduate Program that lists her name. I left it in her car on my way to work. I hope she is excited. The parents, though, were in town for a couple of days for James’s graduation and headed home today.
