1. I sure enjoy it when I can return a set of papers and praise both my classes for doing good work. The papers I just returned give me confidence that my two sections of WR 115 are going to do solid work throughout the quarter and I am very happy with how we are working together in class.
2. After work, the Deke got a ride to 16 Tons so I drove over to join her and we not only enjoyed our beers together, but we had a fantastic discussion about blues chords, vocal harmonies, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, country music, rock n roll, rhythm and blues and other musical stuff. I kept asking questions and the Deke kept helping me understand musical stuff I want to have a better grasp of. Awesome conversation.
3. About 16 Tons: When I first started going there, I went in as much to enjoy yakking with the people working as I did to enjoy the beer. Jeff. Emily. Nicole. Colin. Abi. Now these, and other employees have left, and I miss them. But, I'm starting to get to know Eric and Eric and a new Abbie and now I'm having new conversations with new people much younger than I am about beer and movies and other stuff and it's becoming fun again to go to 16 Tons and know that I'll have a good beer or two, but I'll also have some good conversation, not only with the Deke, but with the employees. It's really fun when things are slow at 16 Tons, say, in the afternoon, to yak for a while, especially with these young people who tell me a lot of great stuff.
