I got a new watch. It was $55 in the Ole Miss bookstore. I think it has sufficient teacherliness.
Rob,
I like the watch. Are you sure you didn’t pay too much? Just asking since I have been wearing the same $11 watch (KMart) for 12 years!
I thought about that, but was satisfied with the purchase. For one, I’ve been wearing an ugly and badly damaged watch that I found ($0) many years ago. I’ve been meaning to buy a nicer one for a long time, but I’m quite picky (and usually thrifty, by which I mean cheap, and seldom buy anything).
Also, it was my birthday a few weeks ago, and I didn’t buy myself anything. And, as I figure it, being a man of simple tastes (i.e., not a purchaser of jewelry or fancy clothes), I can afford a nice watch.
Love the photos…
Thanks, Ben. There should be a relatively steady flow of them.
This blog began (at a different location) as fulfillment of a requirement of the Mississippi Teacher Corps. While intermittently posting, I taught for a year in a rural town with no traffic lights, moved to Jackson and an “inner-city” school, finished the MTC program and stuck around to teach a third year.
Then I went to Santa Fe, New Mexico to study Eastern Classics (& Sanskrit) at my alma mater, and earned the second M.A. that I don’t intend to use toward anything practical.
Now I’m teaching again, math instead of English, and in the desert Southwest instead of the muggy South.
