Irascible

It's the word of the week, at least in Ethics class. Some students hadn't been familiar with its meaning (not good) but had the guts to admit it (good), so now have another fine word to use (also good) in just about any setting -- especially handy in a place where people run around overfunctioning.

I know that the previous sentence needs help, and I might care about it if I weren't coping with a relentless headache that now has gone on for days and days. Blah! I'm irascible!

Dog update: Steve has decided to keep Uri in the family, so John & I shall remain a single poodle family. Maggie and Daisy became friends, Mingus has a lot to say, Murray has barked courageously from the Dean's yard, Bea has not been in sight, and Roz remains Top Dog.
