never mind

[DD]

Soooo, I'm in Hong Kong now overlooking Hong Kong harbor. Not too shabby. I'll be teaching here this week Monday - Friday, but I got here Friday night so I could adjust to the time change and relax a bit before teaching. I don't have to cook for a week!:clap_1:

I read a very good book on the plane -- "Life Expectancy" by Dean Koontz. It a very enjoyable mystery about a guy who when he's born his grandfather predicts 5 horrible days in his life, along with the dates. The book chronicals how he handles each of these days and the times in between. It was a very funny book -- I had never read anything by Koontz before and I will look for his books in the future. The author has such a sense of humor. The book also has a nice food theme running through it, which is always a pleasure.

I also found out while I was here that I really screwed up a book order for an upcoming class I'm teaching at school and I've been scrambling here on email trying to fix the problem. Oh drat.

How very cool, Paula! Never been to Hong Kong! Heck, I've never been to Chinatown! (Well, I have been to Chinatown in Boston). Anyhoo, thanks for the heads up on the book. Love Dean Koontz. Will look for it. Of course, one would have to actually get off SoWal in order to read a book, huh? Hope you have a successful teaching experience and a wonderful trip. What are you teaching anyway? I should probably know, but dementia has set in.

i got a card this year - probably because his pharmacy counter faces the card aisle so that's all he sees ! :roll:

off subject - i sent our vet flowers friday because she is just so good with dory, and she called today to check on dog and thank us for the flowers. she almost started crying and said it was about the nicest thing anyone had done for her. she is such an awesome vet, and dory is totally enamoured of her.

that was so sweet of you! she was probably shocked. people who do good things rarely get the recognition they deserve these days.

true. we don't even need a thread for relevant discussion anymore. just random thoughts, a joke here and there, avatar changes a few times a week, smoking/cussing/drinking on certain evenings, and mostly mindless drivel - or anything lighthearted and fun and cute and whatever....

Welcome to the Mindless Drivel Thread... soon we'll be giving out a Drivel Award each week.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!:clap_1: :clap_1: Right up my Allie....

Random thought: I had a bean and beef burrito with chili and cheese for supper.

Next random thought: Never mind
