Doings of Learned Stupidities

(Eruditarum Stultitiarum Acta) We've been doing this for more than five years, but we lost the first year or so of archives. Frightening...

Latin Requests

1. Someone searched for a definition of forsitan , it means "perhaps."

As in: forsitan haec olim meminisse iuvabit
Someday it perhaps will please us to recall what we're doing now
(Not quite literal, but it's hexadecisyllabic, and I need the practice.)

2. No one searched for a definition of currunt , which means, "they run."

As in: caelum, animum mutant, qui trans mare currunt
They who run across the sea find the sky has changed but not their souls.

Other Matters
Pi Kappa Alpha gear is now being advertised above the site. I guess I should stop talking about my current project at work.

My boss asked me and a few others of my age whether they were jealous of professional athletes in their late teens and early twenties who were making huge signing bonuses. (Not boni, Patrick, heh heh). Specifically, he asked something about wishing we were there when they were handing out athletic skills. My boss happens to be my former Little League coach. I replied something to the effect of, "I must have been in the bathroom, and I'm glad of it. I don't need that kind of money and women wanting to come to my hotel room at night." I sent my colleagues into conniptions. Frankly, I don't think it was funny.

Lately, I have had trouble finishing spoken sentences while I seemingly expect that my thought is so banal as to be completed by the auditor.

That's it. I'm going on vacation now.
