More going back to school/old man stories, went to class last night, last week was midterm. Got an 89, happy with that. As I walk into class, this very vocal student asks everyone what they got, normally, in the real world, people are put off when asked these kinds of questions, but, in the world of the student this is par for the course. So, I say an 89, the group of them, maybe 6 or so, who, it turns out got f's and d's, ask me "how did you do it man, how did you study, I studied the study guide and none of the questions were on the test" they didnt like the format, the questions were too hard, etc, etc.
I said to them, newsflash, I did this really novel thing, I READ THE BOOK AND TOOK NOTES IN CLASS! HOW ABOUT THAT! Of course I didnt say it like that, but I did say that I read the book, and the questions came right out of the book.
Another story from the continuing adventures of going back to school at the age of 52. We hear it all the time, but, its true, students these days are much different, the study and work ethic is much different, they seemed genuinely flabbergasted that by reading the book you could actually do well on the test!
Oh, well, all in good fun, the experience is definately a good diversion for me at this period in my life. I will keep you all updated with more funny adventures.

Good thought, but I hear those Martian women live to be 200 years old , and their MLC'S can last decades instead of years! Plus they refuse to relocate!

Really? 26 for me... hmm... that seems a little young. I guess as I've considered it here and there 28 has been my cutoff so 26 isn't that crazy. But even 28 I've struggled with. 28 would be 10 years my junior and 10 seems a good cutoff to me.
Not that I'm anywhere near wanting or needing to worry about it, but that is an interesting formula.
Of course if you take that out a ways you get 47 for an 80 year old so I'm thinking that math falls apart somewhere
