Not Much Happening Today, Yet...

As Eva and I strolled around the swimming pool to check out the bright Arizona sunshine and the comfortable, dry warmth, we saw a couple of new things...

The cactus outside the back door is flowering

A small songbird of some sort

. . .

Last night, just a few minutes before I fell asleep, a stray thought interrupted my reverie, It was: "That's not fair!' is such a childish exclamation."

Might want to use that thought in a short essay (or a short story) someday.

Education In America Today

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Call it Zombies 101 The University of Baltimore is offering a new class on the undead. The course is being taught by Arnold Blumberg, the author of a book on zombie movies, ''Zombiemania,'' and the curator of Geppi's Entertainment Museum, which focuses on American pop culture.

Students taking English 333 will watch 16 classic zombie films and read zombie comics. As an alternative to a final research paper they may write scripts or draw storyboards for their ideal zombie flicks.

The university isn't the first to have a class on the undead. Columbia College in Chicago has offered a course on Zombies in popular media for years, and at Simpson College in Iowa students spent the spring semester writing a book on ''The History of the Great Zombie War.''

. . .

Well, as the title indicated, not much is happening here today.


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
