"I'm Hot For Teacher"

1. Who was your favorite all time teacher(s)?

Tough one as I was lucky to have so many great teachers. Of course I
barely remember some of the names, but for my High School: My Psych
teacher, the TV/AV teacher who ran the Radio/TV station at school, Mr
Peasley my History and Anthroplogy teacher. College: Rudi Volti who
taught me Sociology and the Zen of Motorcycles; Bob Albert who taught
me about Gifted Child Psych and why Health Care should be a right not
a luxury; Al Whachtel who taught me Sociology and opened my mind up to
Epic and Scripture; Harry Senn my French Teacher who also wrote a
monograph on Werewolf legends of Romainia. Pitzer really had an
amazing staff back then.

But the teacher I think of most when I teach is Mrs. Ustruck. She
treated us like adults though were are 8 and 9 yr olds. Called us
"people!" when we misbehaved, and taught us with love, respect and
disipline.

2. What did they teach?

Well see above.

3. What is your best memory from class?

Which class? One of my favorite memories from College Classes was a
once a week class class my friend George and I had on Wednesday Nights
- it was a Psychiatrist's view of Psycology. Anyway George and I
would go and then head out to the Wed Night Frat party on Pomona
Campus. One night he decided he wanted to "acutally learn something"
so instead of sitting in the back of the class with me cracking jokes,
he sat in the front. (I got an A in this class so we did learn
something).

So the Prof asks the class "what is Lycanthropy". Now I know this
question, but I'm thinking I can get George. Wait for it, Wait for
it... NO ONE in the class knows the answer. So the Professor says:
Werewolves. I look at the floor so no one can see my face and simply
say: "there wolf, there Castle."

George cracks up in the front of the class. He could run but he couldn't hide.

PS that is a joke from Young Frankenstien

4. Did you ever have a crush on a teacher and if so who?

I think I had a crush on one of the student teachers in Primary
school. Otherwise my schools were very popular with teachers so we
tended to have only older more experienced teachers on campus.
Nothing like the young hotties I teach with in the Inner City schools.

5. What is the craziest/wildest/weirdest thing you (or someone you
know) ever did at school?

Since my family reads this I cannot tell you.

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
