Mega

 

Hah..... it is only a true pipe dream that the image above represents.  I have NOT won the "Mega Millions" lottery.  I would like to do so, of course.... but I do not typically gamble.  I perhaps buy a random "Mega Millions" ticket once or twice a year.... so I have a stimulus to "dream big".  

My "mega" is in reference to my being "mega-tired".  It was a very "professorial voice" heavy day.  And, six of the nine hours happened to be in a room where my "professorial voice" speaking had to be extra-ordinarily loud.... because the U was fussing around with some aspect of the heating and cooling system in the building I was teaching in.... and the room I was in was continually filled with a VERY LOUD wind noise from the ducts in the floor and ceiling during the entire time. So, in order to be heard..... I had to talk LOUDER and more animated...... so students could "get" and hopefully understand what I was talking about.  

The other three hours were in one of the big lecture halls.... so I have to be especially "big voiced" there too..... to fill the hall.  So, my voice is damn tuckered out.  

It would be extremely wonderful, terrifically lovely, and just such a "throw back" to the wonderful days of yore, those wonderful, earlier times.... for me to have an ice cold beer (or two) and a pipe (or two or three) after the amount of effort I have performed on the various professorial stages I "pontificated" from very loudly today.  

But, of course, sadly.... that is not my current modus operandi.

• I was able to get 8 miles in this morning.  I was glad for at least that amount.  It was hard getting my feet on the ground this morning.  I wanted to sleep.
• Tomorrow will likely be me spending time working on a laboratory practical examination I need to develop.
• Other than the above, I am just my boring, robot-self.
