Category: Those Crazy Kids!
During a one-on-one performance review with UC#2 yesterday, we realized that yesterday’s BLOTT failed to capture the true rock star nature of UC#2’s scholarship. As you recall, UC#2 is a leading expert in 1st and 2nd century Coptic manuscripts. We have failed to take into account the added stress, the demands of groupies, the constant […]
Q: What is the bane of every parents’ life?A: The 7th grade science fair. WLBOTT has been selected to judge the annual science fair at Rufus T. Firefly Middle School in Bryan-College Station, Texas.

In response to this outpouring of love, WLBOTT fans the flames of these smoldering romances by offering a wedding venue (refurbished break room) and providing officiants. The Break Rooms We asked our regional offices to send us pictures of […]
After a long day of manipulating twine futures, the WLBOTT staff likes to boogie! No one says it more succinctly than Alicia Bridges: I love the nightlife I got to boogie on the disco ’round, oh yea. Oh, I love the night life I got to boogie on the disco ’round, oh yea. Oh, I […]

Childish Albedo
We really did have the best intentions. We recently finished the Sci Fi novel The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson, and the concept of albedo plays an important part of the plot. (Albedo is the fraction of sunlight that is reflected, rather than absorbed.) Everything was going fine, and we had even […]
The Buddy Walk / Caminata De Amigos is an annual event held by the Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas. The 24th Annual Buddy Walk was held on October 1st at Reunion Ranch (about 25 miles northwest of Austin). The Buddy Walk is, in a word, a blast! Lots going on, great weather, a chance […]
