As he battled to suppress an inevitable sternutation, he came to this conclusion, tenuous though it was: due to the didactic manner in which his boss spoke, the man had to be quixotic egotist. (Me)

In the didactic session the quixotic student knew that he would be in a tenuous situation if he did not admit that he had not a clue what sternutation meant. (Aunt Barb)

The poor man's quixotic attempts at didactic dialogues were tenuous at best

Yippee, we’re going to rehearse this week! Of course, David’s gone so it’s going to be just three of us. You ever tried practicing with a group when not all of the group is there? I don’t think I have, not for a whole practice. But it can’t be very satisfying. But at least it’s work, at least it’s progress.

I love arguing with Randy. Currently we’re arguing about football. He thinks I go so far out of the way to avoid homerism that I deal in nonreality. That’s not true, I just try to be cautious and objective when it comes to my favorite team. And you’re not going to win the Pac-10 if you don’t have a good quarterback. It’s that simple.

Don’t complain about gas prices. In Oslo gas is $4.89 a gallon.

People thrive on encouragement; I know I do. Different times I think about how I can be encouraging to others, but for me (mostly due to laziness) often I don’t make the effort. Really, just taking the time to let someone know you appreciate them or something they’ve done, that’s really all there is to it. I think of this because of a lady in our church who at different times has made a point to encourage me in different areas.
