As most of you know, I recently inherited the office of one of the longest administrative assistants at my institution. She sat in the chair I am now sitting in (lunch break, you know) longer than I have been alive. She worked for the college in other departments for 24 years beyond that. That's a lot of years.

My parents, of course, had one of these when I was small. But they never let me use it.

Yesterday I had reason to label something. So out came the labeler. My student assistant had never seen one, but once I started using it, noted that the labels looked like that retro-looking font you get on some computers.

So, despite what the title says, I'm not a vegetarian. But we almost are. We bought a turkey for thanksgiving, fed three families, and (2 months later) are still living off the meat of that turkey. That's right, we haven't bought any other meat. So, we're close to vegetarian. And I subscribe to Vegetarian Times, which means every month I'm inundated with more reasons to become a vegetarian. Maybe, on this tragectory, in five years we'll be full vegetarians, almost vegans.
