Facebook famous
Former sports editor Robert Taylor started a T.J. Tranchell fan page on Facebook. I won’t be hurt if you aren’t my fan, but an interesting question was raised: should I put that on my resume?
Probably not.

Wheat discovery
I try my hardest to eat healthy. You may not think so because I am frequently munching on cookies and candy when someone walks into the office. But without fail I always eat wheat bread. I don’t really like it unless it’s honey wheat, which sort of defeats the purpose, but I do eat it nonetheless. So I was so happy when I bought fresh-baked wheat bread from the Co-op. It is by far the best wheat I have ever tasted. I wish they sold it everywhere.

Welcome wringter?
I feel like we are having Monty Python seasons this year. You know, when winter decides to give spring and summer a-miss and go straight on into autumn? We almost have an entirely new season, some sort of winter/spring hybrid. Maybe we can call it wringter? Or springter?

‘Deep thoughts’
Walking on even the smallest amount of gravel can be tasking in heels. Thanks to my towering choice of footwear, I almost ate dirt walking onto campus yesterday. Then I thought (among the shower of “deep thoughts” I had yesterday): does my insurance cover injury caused by wearing tall shoes on gravel?

Short shorts
I was inspired the other day when it was beautiful outside and I bought a nice pair of shorts. I know it will be a while before I can actually wear them, but it made me feel good to have something summery in my closet. For anyone who is mad at the weather, go buy yourself a summer treat. I promise it will make you feel better.

Air cars
If someone had told me 15 years ago that I would see air cars in my lifetime, I would have thought of the amazing freedom that cruising far above streets would give me. Now it seems that air cars will soon be a widely available reality, albeit much different than what I would have imagined. Instead of offering us the freedom to fly, they will offer us freedom from dirty, depletable energy sources that fuel war and empiricism as much as transportation. Check out the future on YouTube.

Ooey-gooey
As if waking up to rain clouds wasn’t depressing enough, thousands of worms decided to sacrifice themselves to April showers by crawling onto the wet sidewalks, only to be crushed by passersby. Terrible. My heart bleeds for each of their five hearts. Okay, that’s a bit dramatic. But I do wish the robins would at least eat them.

Sweet relief? Nope.
The Mormons have found me. Again. They simply will not rest until I’m a baptized Jell-O eater that actively quilts and reproduces, because now I’m on the Relief Society’s e-mail list. I’ve politely declined the peddling of their wares for 21 years now and they just keep comin’. They must work closely with the FBI and/or the Girl Scouts, because I’ve developed some sweet NASCAR evasive maneuvers to avoid them. I think it must be my grandmother tipping them off. You know, doing the Lord’s work. Or would that be Lords’ work?
