Dave Brodbeck comments on End of the Term

Thanks Dan,

Yeah it was really cool. It was, admittedly, weird, for about the first 90 seconds of the first class I taught her, after that it was pretty normal.

I too will probably take a big chunk of time just recovering from the never ending cycle of bullshit, but then I know I will get lots done.

Enjoy the sabbatical, Dave! I took one (my first as well) last year, and after spending the first three or four months recovering from burn out and stress, it was amazing how much I was able to accomplish.

What a sweet way to end the year. I bet you were able to forge many memories of your daughter on a context that most of us will never have a chance to experience--and likewise her. Every class with you was bring your daughter to work day!

Scene: "Oh hi, I just dropped over for a cup of sugar...Oh, I noticed that you have pink computer paper sheets here at your work station just like a note that was placed in the door of my neighbour...-an unrelated question, how fast can you run?"

His latest thing is telling people what actor they look like. He told the optometrist, who is Italian and bald, that he looks like James Gandolfini......
