Lent Day Nineteen
Sunday, March 23, 2014 – Bless me Father, for I have sinned. When I began this Lenton Log, I failed to mention Bill Prady, the co-creator of my all-time favorite television program, The Big Bang Theory. Dr. Shelton Cooper and Dr. Leonard Hofstadter – both physicists. Dr. Rajesh Koothrappolli – an astrophysicist, and MR. Howard Wolowitz and Penny. Penny. Penny. Yes, even though your aerospace engineering degree is from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “Who doesn’t have a Masters’ Degree?” That is the attitude of those of us who do have Dr. in front of our name. Add Bernadette Rostenkowski, a microbiologist and my favorite – Amy Farrah Fowler, played by Mayim Bialik, who actually has a PhD. in neurobiology and you, get an ensemble cast that is one of the best in television history. I am, or know, or have taught every character in the series. I think most of them were in my first period American history class when they were juniors at McCullough High School in The Woodlands. Well, this must be short today because I must get ready to give UCLA the Axe, tonight. Go Lumberjacks!!! So I will leave with one of my favorite of many from the series, quotes. This one from Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler. “I do not question the existence of a Supreme Deity. However, I do not understand one that takes attendance once a week.”
