<Snip>
that's a beard of sheer laziness ...and once it grows a bit it
becomes more of a chore to get the thing off! that's what having a 15
month old can do to you!

I had to grow mine for a madrigal performance 29 years ago. Shaved it off once for about a month. Thats the only time my wife or son ever saw me without it.

I didn't know I had so much company! I grew my beard shortly after going to college. Then, for a reason I don't remember - probably my girlfriend, I shaved it off for a few weeks. It was the middle of winter and my face got cold! I grew it back and have had it since. Jeez, I feel old. That was 30 years ago. Now where did that girlfriend go? Bob |

I had a friend once who got his Ph.D in Physics before his 21 st birthday. He grew a beard when he started teaching since most of his Grad students were older than he was. At 50 he shaved it off and was shocked to see a 50 year old man staring him back in the face from the bathroom mirror. He immediately regrew the beard.

Hey, don't you guys feel bad. It's been thirty five years since I dropped out of art school - entered this community college (where I'm still attending) four years ago - and I still don't have my Associates. The way I figure, by the time I get my Bachelors degree, I'll be retirement age... and a Masters... or more... well, it seems I'll be a student forever. Funny thing, through all these years, I'm still the kid in fourth grade who has her friends waiting (until the math assignment is finished, so we can ride our bikes home for lunch - boy, those were the days - getting to go home for lunch!!) Today I sit in class, dreaming of going home for a cup of Kenyan AA - which I *NAILED* in my roast this time, thank you very much!!! Lynne (ever slow & plodding..) On Fri, May 9, 2008 at 5:19 PM, J.

Sandy,
I still have that dream, I finished undergraduate work back in
69, got my Ph.D. in 76, and retired as a full professor in '07.
This morning I'm drinking the Yemen Mokha Sana'ani with three days
rest on it. Roasted more to City than Full City as Tom recommends but
still a complex cup. I think it is likely to improve with a couple
more days rest.

Got you all beat. I was a High School drop out. Went to college at night and graduated when I was 30. Finished my required high school courses in College but did not receive college credits for them. Instead of credit I was given a paper and told to bring it back to my High School. The High School then would issue me a Diploma. I never bothered with it since I knew I would be getting my degree soon. Went on to get my MS at 32 and finally my PhD. at age 46. However officially I am still a High School drop out. I retired as a college Professor at age 65.

I hear it afflicts mostly those who are academic achievers--my husband has it at least once a week. The way it usually ends for me is--and it usually takes place in high school or college--is that I realize I don't need a second high school diploma or BA because I already have a J.D. degree and then I wake up. Only once or twice has it concerned graduate or law post-grad school, and I realize that an MA or LLM is not necessary for me, and then wake up. Another recurring dream is that I am on a vacation and the return flight home is in a very few hours, and I haven't fully packed yet. The more I pack, the more remains to be packed; if I do get packed and to the airport, there's always some hangup getting to the gate on time (strangely, it has never involved the TSA lines). Or I am about to embark on an international (Europe or Asia) trip and I suddenly realize I don't have a valid passport--usually find this out in the shuttle bus with my tour group before we reach the terminal. (After years of having that dream, that actually happened to me in '05 going to Montreal--United wasn't going to issue me a boarding pass out of O'Hare till I had my birth certificate and expired passport faxed to the ticket counter; on the way home, the INS agent in Montreal wasn't going to accept that plus driver's license and voter registration card until I pleaded with her and agreed to be met by US Marshals at the jetway at O'Hare should my information not check out. Landed without seeing any Marshals--so either she didn't call or my citizenship info checked out. Next day I applied for a passport. Until then, just my driver's license had been enough to get me back across the border from Canada).

Sandy
How very interesting. I used to have that dream regularly......Here it
was, final exam time and how in the name of God had I completely forgotten
that I had signed up for class X and apparently had never attended!!?? Or
the other familiar one to me: I've got this important meeting with
important people (their exact importance to me isn't ever clear) but I can't
find out where the meeting is being held OR I can't find my notes on what I
was going to say! What a relief to wake up and realize it was only a dream.
Don't guess I've had one of those in years now (been retired 7 yrs) but I
can still remember them vividly. Glad to find out they are so common an
experience.

Same dream, as if I was in math analysis, calculus, differential equations. (Seems like it was a dream...l never really remember waking up to find out). I remember the panic. Must be twenty/thirty years since I'd thought about it. Might have had a similar one about a tax or credit card payment deadline since.

Barry, that's the best story I've heard about education in a long time! It's in my nature to try to buck the system - even 'homeschooled' my kids for awhile (translated: take them to the library with boxes & let them read, read, read to their hearts' content). Then having four kids at home started to drive me nuts, so I put them back in school. That experience helped give them a love of learning - rather than just jumping through the hoops. Pondering all of this as I sip my half Kenya AA something or other, and half decaf mix of four leftover decaf somethings or other. Brewed in my new/old eBay Chemex (love it!) This brew isn't great - should have gone for all Kenyan. That one (two actually) I nailed this time.
