Don’t Worry; Chew Sunscreen!

~~~

Day’s Verse:

“I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.”

Luke 21:15

~~~

Spending a quiet day wondering what the intercepts of y = .5x and y^2 = 8 – x are, and which line is on top, and what the graph looks like. No calculators allowed. Yesterday our tricky professor warned us of a quiz, threw us all into a panic, and then announced in class it would count for nothing. He seems to think he’s doing us a favor, too.

Ian is off to the doctor’s office again because his cough lingers and doesn’t seem to get any better. I keep worrying, although it’s about as effective as solving algebra by chewing bubble gum, and why chew bubble gum when a piece of cardboard soaked in sunscreen makes for long-lasting taste satisfaction?
