Well, ok, to be fair to the kids ...

It's lunchtime. Do you know where your dean is?

Mine's a pint!. I am proud to be a part of a university that officially endorses beer drinking, reaffirming that age-old association between higher education and alcohol. Old Joe's Winter Warmer, will be available at the university's staff bar over Christmas for £2.15 a pint. So see you there then, the first round's on me!

It's lunchtime. Do you know where your kids are?

With the recent attention to what children in the US are eating these days, and the problems their choices create for their health, this clip from Weblogg-ed News seems very timely.

Poor Choices. This is totally un-Web log related, but just too funny to not share. The following is a piece of an e-mail that our principal received yesterday:

"Dear Ms. Brady,
I discovered that I could receive an accounting of what my son was purchasing for lunch each day. When I received it I was very disappointed to learn that of $200 on his account he spent approx. $17 on Little Debbie cakes, $20 on French Fries, $49 on Soda (Gatorade), $12 on ice cream, $27 on pizza, $10 on pretzels & candy and $57 on lunch. As a result he owes me $143 for his poor choices..."

Sheesh. Now that's what I call brain food... [Weblogg-ed News]
