My choices would be Stoli, Grey Goose, or Tanqueray... But that's not why I'm writing. While on the thought of "teachable moments" I wanted to ask a favor of Tipsters. I have been thinking for some time now about compiling a collection of "most embarassing teaching moments." It seems to me that when I hear about these I somehow feel more encouraged about my own stellar (or not so stellar) moments. I generally get the feeling that if someone can do THAT and walk away smiling, then I can handle my own goofs or gaffs. I admit I tend to be insecure (I'm sure there's a better term for it), but I thought it might be a useful collection for educators new to the classroom. To that end, would Tipsters be willing to share (privately or publicly) some of their own moments? I'd be happy to keep things confidential if so desired. I'd also appreciate any suggestions on such a compilation. Thanks, Carol

Rum and Coca-cola - that's so graduate school- though I do admit that Bullfighters were my preference. :) I much prefer a single malt (18 year old Highland Park), a good bourbon (Woodford Reserve is a good starting point), or Tequila (Patron Respasado is fine with me!). With food, wine or beer depending on the fare. Only in moderation!! Hope you have a great Thursday!! Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

All tipsters are encouraged to contribute.I will provide gin and tonic and the rum and coca-cola. Btw,while on this subject,I am curious as to the favorite libations of Skinner,Watson,Freud(smoked dope),G Stanley Hall,Christopher Green,Stephen Black , and Mary Carver Jones. Who was the alcoholic-Harlow or Mowrer? Did Obama get his "hope" idea from Mowrer?
