Ocean World


I showed this to one of my classes today, so I thought I would share it with you as well.

My day began with a telephone call as I entered my office, grabbing the phone from the wrong side of the desk, my coat still on. It was a job offer. The sort that people might wait a lifetime to hear. I stood there with my scarf around my neck, students already lining up outside my office, as I contemplated the words I was hearing over the telephone. It was a surreal moment, and I have wondered for the remainder of the day if I am worthy of such good fortune. So good that I could turn the offer down and go about the rest of my day in peace. Surreal.

    Two morals here:
    1) if you keep your mouth open long enough you'll catch SOMETHING!
    2) Keep your mouth SHUT!

    A VERY Happy New Year to you and yours! ~ jb///
