Should I write my professor?

How did it end up?

I didn't email her in time and the grades were posted as was. I got 3 A's, a B, and a C. The C came from this particular class. I should have emailed her about it to protest the grade but I got cold feet.

You didn't do badly!

And next semester you can shoot for a higher GPA!

I was once married.

We sometimes build walls around ourselves, thinking to keep out dragons . . .

But the only things on the other side of the wall are bunny rabbits.

So we find we don't need so high and thick of a wall.

To have friends, be a friend. To be loved, love without constraints.

We were not meant to live alone. No man--or woman--is an island.

Go out. JOIN something. Did I ever tell you that baby boomers and Gen Xers and millennials almost NEVER join anything?

Our lives have been getting more and more solitary. But it doesn't have to be that way--and shouldn't be.

We can regain our sense of community. You can take a step to do that TODAY.

I have had a passenger in my car maybe 5 times in the last year.
I'm extremely antisocial.

I think you just haven't met the right people, and have been filtering out the bad ones.

It will be based on whether we have loved and allowed ourselves to be loved.

Ah I'm ****** then

Unless they're already shoveling dirt on top of your coffin, you've still got time to un**** yourself.

Be still. Allow yourself to be loved. Go forth into the world!

I just watched, "The Greatest Showman," which was about the life of P. T. Barnum.

The movie itself was great--but historically it was "humbug." There were fictional characters, and it didn't really delve into Barnum's darker side, such as exploiting a poor black woman--claiming that she was 161 years old and had been George Washington's nurse--and even charging people to view her autopsy. Slavery was technically illegal in New York, but he "leased" her.

This is not to say that Barnum didn't do some good. He was a philanthropist and even served as the mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut. He brought "the Swedish nightingale," Jenny Lind, to America, and she made $350,000 on the tour (equal to $10 million today), the vast majority of which she donated to charity.

And Lind and Barnum never had an affair.

However, some 14 weeks after his first wife, Charity, died, he married Nancy Fish in a secret ceremony in England. The marriage certificate was not discovered until 1994. He and Fish had a public ceremony 10 months after the death of his first wife.

In any event, P. T. Barnum was someone who definitely knew how to promote himself!

Another good reason to "off" him! ;-)
