BTW, jponry, I meant to bring something up the other day about high school students, but I forgot.

Here it is: they will be more interested in your personal life and history than you are probably willing to reveal. Why this is, I can’t say, but it is absolutely true. You’ve got to give a few details just to humanize yourself, but they’ll want to go deep. Establish a boundary in you own head before you start and don’t go beyond it, no matter how they try to get you talking about the fascinating creature that is “you.”

To them, it’s much more fun than actual work or study, and some teachers are suckers for it.

No, the English majors are taking classes about actual Lit rather than having to learn how to compose. Same was true at FSU back in the ’70’s.

From what I can gather, they pushed a bunch of models out with an inadequate power supply. So the warranty ends, the power supply burns out, and now you have to buy the power supply that they should have put in the TV to begin with.

Ross is a good defender who can play all three outfield positions. He’s a bit of an all-or-nothing guy at the plate. Lot of hard contact but also a lot of strikeouts. I’ve gotten the impression he was a hot dog while watching him from afar, an opinion that a few Giants pitchers have shared after watching him toss his bat after home runs. But the Marlins writers I’ve talked to say I have it all wrong, that he’s a great guy and a positive clubhouse presence.
