Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Good idea.  Fewer exams on the same day that way too.

-> That's not the problem since most exams are on line with a window of
-> several days in which to take them.  It's the going almost non stop from

 RH> That's a distinct improvement over the way I did it.  You can get up,
 RH> stretch, etc and then take the next one.

It's too far back for me to remember if I had more than a couple on one
day.  Usually papers and things like that for a lot of my courses
instead of final exams.  Papers were more in keeping with my major/minor
instead of exams.


-> the time he gets up until he goes to bed.  Classes are 8-8:50, 9-9:50,
-> chapel for an hour (10-11), then 2-3:15, 4-6 and 6:30-9:30.  He then has
-> to prep for his 2 classes the next day and work on long term projects.

 RH> Ack.  Uck.  Does he get any time to, y'know... sleep?

He didn't today. He had 2 papers due today but had jury duty yesterday.
A lot of sitting around and waiting but the bailiff let him work on his
papers.  Still, he didn't get to bed until a couple of hours before he
usually gets up. After he came home from chapel, he took a short nap.
Hopefully that will carry him thru until after the last class & he can
get to bed at a decent time.

->  RH> Some restaurants here close Mondays too.

-> And a lot where my parents live close Monday and Tuesday. Made it
-> interesting several years ago when we wanted to take them out for their
-> anniversary on a Tuesday.  We found one that was open--and have been
-> back a couple of times since; it has good food!

 RH> They have to close some time, and those are the slow days.

Makes it hard when you want to go out in an area where choices are
limited to begin with.  But, we didn't have to go out of the immediate
area which was good.

->  RH> Roast ducks!  Who got dibs on those?  If he did, then the slightly
->  RH> overcooked ones may have been accidentally-on-purpose.

-> Nobody has dibs, we all had our share of them.  He did grab some of the
-> more well done ones so the girls and I could have the better looking
-> ones.  If we were giving cookies away (a common practice), the give
-> aways were the lightest.

 RH> Shortbread is supposed to be lighter too, but I like mine browned
 RH> across the top.  Butter cookies too, despite the recipe writers
 RH> throwing their collective hands up in horror at the very thought.

Ours are slightly darker to begin with since I use whole wheat pastry
flour. (G)

-> I baked a squash for supper tonight. Stirred in 2-3 tbsp of real maple
-> syrup and a touch of salt--yummy!

 RH> Yep!  Butter and brown sugar work too.

That's the usual, with cinnamon as well.  The maple syrup was a change
off, a sweet one at that.
