poop
Yesterday was the 25th Anniversary of the Pooper Scooper Law in New York City stating that if your dog makes a mess, you've actually got to clean it up. It boggles the mind that it was only 26 years ago, New York City was just another giant toilet for dogs. Oh *boy* how things have changed...
I've been grading all day yesterday and today: I am surprised by how much paperwork I have to deal with. Drove to Western MA to drop off some boxes of stuff with my folks. Back in NJ tonight. On the way, I ate at a rest stop on the NY Thruway. Big mistake: rest stop food is awful.
Having read comments on my previous posting, I have two comments. Firstly, yes, I'll be at Keble College, which is inside Oxford the town, and also inside Oxford the University. It's a beautiful college, and I'll be living in-college for the first year.
Secondly, yes, Americans watch a lot of TV. "I hope Mr. W isn't like that in England." Who says I'm like that in the US? I think that the poster feels that by commenting on how many shows were at my disposal, I am admitting to having watched all of it. With that said, I would like to admit that I did watch quite a lot of it. I mean, I work hard to keep our national TV-watching average above 4 hours per day. It takes a LOT of Ron Popeil ads, re-runs of M*A*S*H, and Law & Order spinoffs of every variety to do it, but I'm just willing to make that sacrifice for the team. Heh.
In my defense, I'm a huge West Wing fan, but I don't want to get into a tizzy over the Sorkin / post-Sorkin debate except to say that I'm still a fan, and I'm still watching and buying DVDs and thinking to myself that if my coworkers looked like Janel Moloney, I'd get even less done around the office than I already do. :)

Mr. W,
I just had relatives from England at my house and they said that people in England don't think of Americans as fat slobs and (most of them) respect us. And they seem to watch their fair share of TV and movies. So u can relax :-)
