Joel Plaskett/Come on Teacher

I don’t know much about Joel Plaskett, but every time I turn on the CBC I seem to hear his name. Here’s what I’ve gleaned from my online sources: he’s a Van Halen freak, and his music is “not complex, but it’s solid, fun and catchy as hell.”

Come on Teacher

I agree. That was solid, fun, and catchy as hell! Thanks.

OK, gotta get to work. There's an epidemiology textbook calling my name.

Are you editing it? If you need any help with confounding, just ask.

I believe I read this very same thing about a recent vintage of Riesling.

Helen: I can't believe it. I was reading about confounding, and the editor called and TOOK THE JOB AWAY FROM ME. It was split between two copyeditors, and because the other started first and I'm going to NYC week, they stopped me. I'm about to start some backmatter stuff they sent me for some textbook that will only take a couple of days, then I'll get some big job when I get back home.

The chapter was interesting and well written, and the whole confounding thing fascinating.

Indigo: Fascinating, yet perplexing. Are you going to go to the gourmet french fry place when you're in NY?

Susan: HA! If I ever go to a wine-tasting party I'll be sure to use this line.

Indigo Bunting said...

Helen: Hmmm. I might. Especially if I try to have lunch with the editor friend who took me there the only time I did go.

Thanks for the provoking thought.

Thanks. Another (new to me) great song. Loved it.

I've become obsessed with this song.
