Did you know...
...both podiums and pulpits are either lecterns or platforms for standing on. Seems like I've heard some controversy over the right word to use in regard to the piece of furniture preachers place their notes on, but maybe there has been no controversy at all and I have just been clueless this whole time.
...those nifty air pockets in the heels of some shoes (e.g. my running shoes) increase in size when the ambient temperature is up — like tires on a car. I thought maybe there was something stuck to my shoe this afternoon, the way the heel felt under my foot.
...I wish preachers would not feel compelled to quit when closing time is reached. I mean, it's good to be reasonable and not drag the sermon on really long. But if the fellow has good things to say, then let's hear 'em!
...living at J&O's makes me some minor portion of an aunt - it's great! Today their son David, his wife and three children are expected from Mexico (actually, they're probably at the house already), and they'll be around for a while. It'll be neat to get to know the family better, and have fun with the children.
...it would be good if I came to work earlier and/or worked more quickly so I wouldn't still be here at 7:37 pm. This sort of research involves a lot of start-this-process-and-wait-x-hours — so even though I've been at the college for over 10 hours, I haven't really done that much labor myself.
...PCs are sad sorts of computers because m-dashes are not easy to type on them.
...it's better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Maybe that applies to blogging, too... especially when the blogger hasn't eaten for 11 hours...
