My Eight Year Old's New Business Plan

Just went downstairs to see a sign, made by Simon. It says:

Simon's Bar: Drinks, Uno, Tick-Tack-Toe (sp), Math Drills and Dreidel.

Yeah, that'll make money. And no, I didn't ask what they will be drinking.

Sounds great to me! I could go for drinks and Uno. I wouldn't mind learning about dreidels, either.

During happy hour, the math drills are two for one, I assume?

Now, that's why I'm so bad at math! If I'd had math drills with beer I'd be so much better now! LOL

So we're guessing Eric took a gamma ray burst to the right side some years ago?

Actually, looks like a lot more fun than my graying process- I wound up dying my beard for years; my beard grayed first, and the gray came in all weird and lopsided- not interesting looking like Eric's.

I hope, and am sure, the Environmental Physics is fascinating. I had a bad experience with mine- we had a course of "Physics for Biology Majors" - and I dropped out after the first month; which did not please the prof. It was all physics; from the viewpoint of a physicist- zero actual communication or relevance I could see. The prof insisted "you need this course!" and I responded, "yes, I do! But I'm getting nothing here, and it's not getting any better." I still regret it. Partly I already had a lot of physics- but partly also there was just a total disconnect between me and the prof.

Of course, I had bio profs where that was true, too!
