Watched F&G 1:7
Gave John 2 a music lesson, as he didn't recognize 90% of the music on the show.
about "Freaks and Geeks"
I don't think that Merry and I have discussed this show at all.
Broadcast 1999-2000, it didn't last a full season on NBC.
I've never watched it til now myself.
Now that I've starting watching it...
well, it really does a good job of describing the ANGST of high school days.
There's the jocks, the burn outs, the pot heads, the kids upwardly mobile, the ones not so much... the kids just trying to fit in somewhere.
One episode completely resonated with me ....
Gym class... and one day, the coach announced "The District has passed a rule... everyone must take a shower after class."
The kid that is the lead on the show just ... freaks out about having to shower with other guys.
After the first class, he rinses his hair in the sink, to try to fool the coach, but gets caught by the coach. But the bell rings, and manages to run off to his next class.
Second day, after the class, he feigns sickness and coach sends him to see the nurse.
Third day, he hides in a bathroom stall, rather than go to gym class.
That night, he talks with his parents, and Dad convinces him, it's really not so bad.
So the next day, he manages to take a shower...with the others.
He goes walking through the locker room, a towel around his waist, and one of the bullies pushes him out the locker room door, into the hallway, and blocks the door. As the kid pounds on the door, the bully opens the door, and grabs the towel, and yanks it into the locker room, and closes the door, leaving the kid naked on the outside.
The kid pounds on the door, gives up, and remembers "A pair of shorts in my locker". He goes running down the hall, as the bell rings, releasing all the kids into the hallway.
He runs around, through the halls, naked, through the door to the outside, and back into the gym via another door, where the coach is talking to another female gym instructor. And he makes it back down into the locker room.
He is still feeling embarrassed as after school, he walks home with his friends, when a jeep full of cheerleaders drives by, and one of them yells, "Hey Sam, hear you streaked the school today! Way to go!"
So he becomes the hero, for a minute anyway.
ANYWAY, I SO remember the panic I went through, the days before starting 7th grade, knowing that I would have to undress and dress and undress and take a shower in the locker room.
Total panic. I'm sure I cried about it.
Until ..it actually happened... and I realized...
Hey! Everybody else is undressing and showering and being naked, just like me!
Then, it was all okay.

Fantasy for the Day
Role play: before she agreed to marry me, I agreed to 'accept discipline whenever and however <she> chooses to apply it.
Wedding day... we return home to change clothes before commencing a road trip for our honeymoon.
She says, "Take off your clothes."
I think, "Oh a quickie before the wedding night.."
Wrong.
I see the hairbrush in her hand.
She takes me over her lap and smacks my bottom long and hard.
I dress, and we get on the road, as I wiggle in my seat on a sore bottom.

Night work wasn't AS bad as I feared, but still .... bad.
AMGEN board of directors meeting, keeping us too busy.
Once the night was covered, I had to set up the next night.
Was working with Thing2: a good Thing.
Fantasy of the Day:
I come home from work-errands-whatever, and she is waiting in The Chair, holding The Brush, and tells me to strip and get over her lap.
I do so...and she smacks my bottom hard and long.
Maybe she gives me a reason for it, maybe not.
