Landmarks

Next week my first generation of advisees (BSc Honours students) will turn in their theses. In keeping with the tradition in which I was raised, I'm having a dinner party for them. Tacos.

In another, perhaps more poignant benchmark moment, when they say:

"Hey, what's the time?"

and I say:

"It's time to get ILL!"
"Hey what's the time! It's time to get ILL!"

They don't get it.

They are all getting CDs for graduation presents. You know, to make me feel younger.

Anybody hear me on this one?
