Definitely Not Safe For Work!
Thanks for the memories
No need to comment. I just wanted to post a small tribute to a fine actor and a really great man.
Tell your friends and family you love them today.
Skin deep?
In my line of work, it’s ironic to notice someone because of his tattoos. I say “ironic” because most every one of my students has tattoos. But these were different.
My semester — giving supplemental instruction to trade and tech students at a community college – began a couple of weeks ago, and while observing [...]
Intervention prevention
Sometimes I wonder if I’m an alcoholic. Because I like to drink. A lot. And by that, I mean I like it a lot, and I also often like having a lot to drink. You know what I mean…
I’m drinking right now, in fact. Anchor Steam: yum. But I like wine, too, and bourbon and [...]
Whither TGW?
I love the Great Whatsit. Have loved it since its first post, way back in January of 2006. Have loved it since Dr. Cedric revealed the medical dilemmas that came through his door. Since Farrell and Trixie revealed the details of their home renovations. Since before the East Coasters and West Coasters met at the [...]
And……scene.
You never really see it coming. You have a feeling, but you brush it aside – you’re too comfortable in the current circumstances. Those closed-door meetings, the feeling that your colleague is trying to tell you something as you stay after work and watch the debates together. But you chalk it up [...]

Fucked up… but in a good way?
About a year ago, my father wrote me an email. “You should get some therapy,” he said. “You really need it.” (He said some other stuff too, but we won’t get into that again.)
Of course, I dismissed this as a fake entreaty, bitter retaliation for a Whatsit post I wrote about growing up a child [...]
The few, the proud, the suicidal
CNN reported last week that suicide attempts among American military personnel are way up. In fact, they reported that the number reached over two thousand last year. Also, over the last few weeks the NY Times has been running a series of articles about the high level of violent criminal activity among returning [...]
Straddling offense
Imagine you teach literature (not a stretch for many of you). Now imagine you have a student who’s super pious and often writes about how the texts you select feature filthy, immoral women who aren’t following God’s laws and instead choose to “spill into the volatile meaty mire of raunchy, distasteful choices” and “dip [...]
