Wow, my own chatroom. I’ve never had such a thing. Thanks, C.K. Now, of course, I’m kind of out of stuff to chat about, but I’ll probably think of some more later. It is real cool to make contact with both of you guys again. I’ve often wondered what you were up to. Paddock is poor at keeping me up to date, but I don’t suppose it is really his job. How old are your kids, Trevor? My little boy is 6, and my daughter will be 5 the first of December. C.K., I gather that your all hitched-up; any baby-making in your future, or are you still in “practice mode?” (Oh, how I sometimes miss practice mode!) Ok, lets see if this works.
I am hitched up and in practice mode (for at least 3 more years if I have anything to say about it). Here’s the wife.
Jim: We have three boys, ages 8, 4, and 2. There’s some of mathematical pattern or something going on, I just realized. Uh oh.
C.K.: I’m assuming Kristin loves kids (since she’s a teacher and all) and wants some of her own. You?
We want some of our own. Just not yet. 3 years of marital bliss, pay down a chunk of the debt, and then the kids. That’s the plan.
It’s a good plan, too, C.K. But where is your sense of adventure and reckless abandon? I say throw caution to the wind and just start hatchin’ ‘em!
Ah, the sense of adventure and reckless abandon were all in the Clinton years… Ever since our current hick President hit office, I’ve been very doom and gloom about fiscal matters.
Any of you real English people have any clever ideas about how to make anglo saxon poetry interesting to a bunch of high school seniors? I’m thinking about using “paint it black” by the Rolling Stones to introduce some of the characteristics of an elegy, (melancholy tone, longing for better days–it also displays some surprising parallels to “The seafarer” in terms of images of lonliness and exile juxtaposed against natural beauty as well as an apparent longing for an “eternal reward” at the end) and so that I can listen to the stones in the classroom.
I’d look for a more recent popular group/song that is somehow analogous to “paint it black.” Play that song first, then play the Stones, then tie it all in to the anglo saxon.
