I cannot longer bite anything as I have no lower inscisors
Quote from: John G. on November 24, 2015, 01:04:19 PMTOD: Here's a shoutout to Zera Baird, my high school Latin teacher. She only taught one year (she had had a full slate of classes when she started, but the appeal had dwindled over the years). She taught me more about English grammar than any other teacher. She was a delightful, droll woman. I had her after she had had a stroke that left half of her face paralyzed. It didn't matter. For the three or four of us who were involved and interested in Latin, she gave it all she had. She was an odd duck visually. She had the same pantsuit and pumps and earrings in five different patterns and wore one each day of the week. But one of that mattered. In a sea of burnouts, she was vibrant and vital and she sparked a will to learn. Your tribute makes me wish I had met her.

Goodnight, Vixmom.Goodnight, TCB, too, as I'm also pooping out.
Vibes and xylophones worked - packaging approved, announcing in the morning. Now we need those next two miracles.
It seems that DR John G and I were watching WOMAN IN GOLD at the same time. Nice film. I liked it.
It was a very long dinner
How was your day, John?

How was your day, TCB?

Oh and my new scooter will be delivered tomorrow morning.
And now, I must be off. TAO is having a special board meeting (I forget why), but I must be there.Until later!
What piece will you be reading?
Sunday night, my niece's oldest son was driving home after visiting his mother, and he was rear-ended. It totaled his car.
