Muffy, Miffy, and Bif

Monday I will be volunteering at the 12th annual CEEH Fore...the Elders Golf Tournament. I've never been to a real golf course, let alone a charity tournament. I'm not really all about golf, and I'm really not all about the kind of people who play at a charity golf event (the "Muffy-s" of the world). So it should be interesting to say the least.

I managed to make it through a whole day of work with only a few attacks of hacking coughs. I even managed to reconcile some of the financial issues! The magic of a three letter code can make the world of difference in Finance-land. I just don't get that either.

There's a lot I don't get...

(No need for anyone to comment on that!)

Rebe's--of the midwestgirl blog "fame"--alerted me to the most amusing photo. Here's two of UWEC's finest jamming out at the annual English Festival:

Asst. Prof. Jole Pace (with the trumpet and sideburns)and Interem Dean (of the School of Arts and Sciences) "Duffy" get funky on the campus green. I would have killed to see this. Ah Eau Claire.... those were the days.

The funny thing about "Interem Dean" Duffy is that he's been "interem dean" for about seven years. He was named interem dean my freshman year, and seven years later, he's still there. I think they'd probably like to just make him dean, but Duffy would really rather go back to being chair of the English department. That's my theory, anyway.

I love this comment from the NPR review of Mr. and Mrs. Smith: " the closeups make their lips look like throw pillows." Wonderful.
