PSA's
We interrupt our own study session to bring you these important public service announcements:
#1) Today is March 15th, aka the Ides of March, aka the day when Julius Caesar "bit it" (as they said in Roman times). Beware, beware, all ye Caesar-loving Shakespeare-reading superstitious types! Auspicious, indeed.
#2) Making your bed is a Good Thing. No really, yo' momma wasn't lying to you all those years. I myself have fought this basic house-keeping tenet for most of my life - why bother making it if I was only going to un-make it later? It was a noble protest in the name of efficiency (and certainly had nothing to do with laziness, nope). But today I was compelled to straighten out the twisted chaos of sheets & covers (could this be a metaphor for my current internal state? hmmm...), realign the pillows and set aright my bed in proper order. And I feel much better about life, myself, my weekend, the current state of world affairs in general, etc. Miraculous! You should try it. Probably you already do, because you are a civilized human being. But if you're a member of the efficiency camp like I was - seriously. Seriously. Cross over to the other side with me. You'll never look back.
