Every day is filled with discoveries, some good and some not so good. Here are mine for the day...
1) The One True Knife (aka my fabulous Henckel 4-star professional Santuko knife) can slice human flesh just as easily as it can slice chicken flesh. And for an extra bonus: like a paper cut, the slice is so thin that it may take a few seconds to bleed. But bleed it does.
2) There is a very attractive house off of Rice University's campus (aka - my running spot) that has approximately 40 pink flamingos in the front yard. No, I don't get it either.
3) I now know where the on/off switch to my AC is in my classroom. A student showed me.
4) I have no idea where the on/off switch for the heat is in my attic at home. Thus I type wearing lots of layers of clothing.
5) The end of the novel "Cold Mountain" is similar to that of the movie.
6) One of the parents of my students has unearthed herself as a control freak who is questioning what I teach, saying that she "doesn't know what's going on" in my classroom and that her daughter it's learning anything. She wants a copy of EVERYTHING I do in my class. Trust me, everything.
7) Chocolate chip cookies still taste better after a 6-mile run. Although they taste pretty good for breakfast.
Cheers!

i would suspect the 40 pink flamingos are in protest of the pink flamingo about to be extinct.
there was something on the news about the original factory going out of business.
no more pink flamingos.
I think it was the person's 40th birthday...the boss at my previous job received the same surprise on her lawn a few years ago.
LOL at your list. Sorry about your parent woes!
