The personal blog of a girl named Alexa
I was reading the Duke University publication today. They have an article about the longevity of some of their professors.
Professor Strandberg is one of their faculty members who have taught at Duke University for over 40 years.
Their Professor of Economics, Craufurd Goodwin, and their Professor of Chemistry, James Bonk, have both been there longer than Prof. Strandberg.
Prof. Goodwin has been the University for 54 years.
The State Fair was running all week but it has rained every single day. It has killed the fair attendance is everyone is mad that the fair is not making any money.
I’ve been to the Tennessee State Fair three times and each time it was a disappointment. Everything costs way too much money and it’s smaller than the county fairs that we had last month.
People are saying that today will be the last day of the State Fair being held in Nashville. I suppose they should start finding a new home for it – like Murfreesboro or Dickson. And they should make accomodations for most of it being under cover so that a week of rain doesn’t ruin everything.
I’m more interested in going to the county fairs anyway – they are so much bigger and a better value for my entertainment dollars.
Baseball is still a great family sporting event. I would love to take my future kids to a baseball game.
this little girl has a great daddy. Look at his totally involvement in her happiness and achievements – no concerns about the loss of the souvenir ball. It was all about his daughter!
There has been a lot of buzz about hackers targeting Word Press. This has forced the organization to issue a lot of updates and change the way they handle upgrades. I would like to upgrade my version on my own, but I have to rely on my system administrator to do it for me – when he has time. I wish there was an easier and faster way to do it. And more than that, I wish there were ways to catch the hackers and throw them all in jail so we don’t have to worry about this anymore.
