Not long before Winter Break, I was playing audio tapes of the novel OF MICE AND MEN for my Freshman on an old-fashioned looking turntable my wife had given me a few Christmases ago so I could play my old vinyl albums.
One of my students, seeing the turntable, points up by where I was standing and says, "What's that ancient-looking thing up there?"
To which I replied, "I work here."
