Today while taking a shower a small moth appeared from behind me and picked out a space on teh shower wall to hang out. The weirder part of that story is that for a good few seconds I actually thought it came out of my butt.

I'd like to share some of my additional notes from economics class. However, first I must say that I'm not the biggest fan of economics. I took it in high school and it's just not my best subject; I didn't bomb it, but I couldn't quite get the hang of it which was frustrating. But my latest teacher goes above and beyond. Why is this?

Well first of all he's exactly what you would think a grown man who loves to punch numbers into a computer would look like. His hair is a grown out bowl cut, topped off with a grey mustach that doesn't match the color of his hair....perhaps he isn't using the combination of hair and mustach dye from Just for Me, because currently, I can tell.
His glasses are still the old fashioned big ones we saw in the 80s. The best part about his is that they have an elastic connector so if he wanted he could take them off and have then hang around his neck.
His attire is rather choice; button up t-shirts with or without the tie, depends on his mood. Every now and then his shirt is buttoned down low enough so I can see his white t-shirt underneath. Other times he's more professional with a button up t-shirt and hand saw clip on the tie.
He stands REAL close to the board when he draws the supply and demand graph. He gets really excited about it too and will cut himself off as he talks about buyers and sellers.

Truely a piece of work.

Now I have noted here that while discussing the price and quantitly demand of lift tickets in Central New York he went on about how he couldn't believe someone would pay 50 dollars to lift weights. We had to inform him the lift tickets were in relation to skiing. He gracefully recovered by stating that made much more sense.

In the middle of lessons he likes to break and tell stories. For example, he told us about his college days which including having to balance his budget. He tended to buy lots of hamburger helper and tuna hamburger helper and now when he sees it he goes into gastro-intestinal spasms. Now a days when he pulls out his bagged PB and J sandwich it's his "real special moment of the day."

Another time he said, "I could give you an assignment but it might get you killed." We inquired why and he revealed the plans: Get sticks of butter in a georcery store, get in the longest line, when they ring it up as $2.79 and the cashier looks at you to pay say you'll give them $1.79 and you gotta hold your ground and make the cashier and supervisor panic.

Today in class we talked about how "Gummy Sharks are pretty cool." Why? Well in his words, "what's special about them is that they are blue at the top and white on the bottom." He knew the number of the bin they were in and how much they were per pound. He also mentioned that Gummy Sneakers were the next bin over and they were cool because they are all different colors with white as the treads.

Now I must say he told these stories to explain points or terms related to economics. I greatly appreciate them. I hope you have as well.

I deem myself responsible and take all the credit for the rebirth of the word "choice."

In about 5 years it will be everywhere. You'll see. And victory will be mine. Now make this a reality and use it when appropriate.

Tell mom the dinner she made was choice.
Tell your teacher their lesson was choice.
Comment on grandpa's attire as choice.
Mention to your friend that their new hair cut is less than choice.
Explain how playing kickball is choice.

Go ahead, make it a CHOICE day.
