How it Was

So this is kinda how it went:

Himbeere was getting ready to go home teaching. He walked in and dropped his shoes on the floor and then sat down to put his socks on. One shoe landed fairly close to where he sat down, the other came to rest a foot or two out of reach. So he says to Quasar to fetch his shoe and bring it over. Quasar, of course, paid absolutely no attention. So he grumps and grumbles for a bit and then goes quiet as he puts his socks and first shoe on. When he was ready for the other shoe he says to Maulbeere, who has been sitting at the computer all this time and is actually farther away from his shoe then he is, “Hey, stand up and get my shoe for me.” Everyone in the room busts out laughing at this point and even Himbeere can’t help but smile at the ridiculousness of what he just said. Yea, so that’s pretty much what happened. That boy is a good source of entertainment.

So who finally got the shoe? Himbeere did. Good for him!

Sure Sign of Spring

Forget the robin, it was wrong anyway. And the groundhog. Here's the sure sign of Spring.

Notice he's barefoot. Himbeere had to cross about 20 feet of snow to get to his hammock. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
