Photo Tag

Thanks Joe...I'm supposed to be grading...


The object of the picture tag is to:

1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder
3) Explain the picture
4) Tag 4 people to do the same

NO CHEATING! (cropping, editing, etc!)



This is Parker's first bottle in the NICU. I am clearly struggling with the burp cloth. I look like one of those snoody waiters opening your napkin for you.

I'm tagging Krysten, Andrea, Lauren O. and Kristin K. (who's blogs I often stalk).

Proofreading humor

Since I've been drowning under a deluge of grading these last few weeks (or maybe it's a month by now). There hasn't really been time for blogging, and there probably won't be for at least another week. However, I did come across this on the internet the other day, and I think it's frickin' hysterical. Of course my enjoyment of it maybe slightly skewed by the fact that I've actually read this type of paper.

The man on the left is Taylor Mali, an English teacher and award winning slam poet. the man on the right is Billy Collins, former US poet laureate, who I actually had the chance to introduce when he read at Butler.

It's a bit crude at times, but enjoy!
