Rudyard Kipling could tell you a thing or so about such doubleness of thought.<br /><br />Glad Megan's getting the punch up. Self-mocking hipsters will definitely leave the other novels behind because Everyone has read those.<br /><br />Oddly, my problem with ear buds is the opposite of yours, Patti...canal too large for them to fit comfortably/not fall too far in.

Many schools start that early so that the first semester is over before Christmas break. What used to happen when school started after Labor Day was that students would have to take their semester exams after returning from Christmas break. You can guess how well that went. And once standardized testing results became a matrix for school performance, the decision was easily made. We'll test our students when they might still have some memory of the material, not after a two-week break!<br /><br />--DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-80984074183270498132016-08-04T11:32:07.973-04:002016-08-04T11:32:07.973-04:00I wonder what their definition of "hipster&qu...I wonder what their definition of "hipster" is.<br />It's only August 4 and back-to-school is everywhere.

Still, everyone, regardless of hipster status, has to spend money when they go back to school (the twins are about to be college freshmen--and does my bank balance know it!). I hope Megan gets some book sales and new readers out of the article.<br /><br />--DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
