idioms

someone whom i have not seen in a while just walked by me and said, "marc daczewitz, as i live and breathe..."

after we exchanged pleasantries and she left, the expression of 'as i live and breathe' played in my head a few times. and i thought, hmmm... maybe i'll start saying to people:

"so & so, as i choke and die..."

"well as i choke and die..."

this entry in no way reflects my feelings toward this person i saw today, not that she knows the address to my blog anyway. i'm not trying to say i don't like her, i just like the idea of saying to people, "well as i choke and die"

happy saturday. i'm sitting in my hanging chair, hanging from the maple tree in my front yard. lovely weather, grading papers, eating popcorn, visiting neighbors, contemplating a bikeride.
