Brilliant Professor

I had a brilliant professor (who actually was my thesis advisor) and when I reminisce about her, this is what I think of:

Fast food is not unhealthy and not cheap

Hedgehogs in the garden
Why is everything called an "event" recently?
The phrase "sort of" in the most bizarre places
First interview of Toni Morrison
