So today's English lesson is going to be a little different. I'm going to tell you a joke, and the joke is this, how does the moon cut his hair? I'll let you think about that for a bit. You'll understand why I'm asking this joke in about 3 seconds. How does the moon cut his hair? Eclipse it. And this is kind of a little bit of a play on words. An eclipse is when the moon goes across the sun, which is happening in a few days here. But it sounds like, he clips it. So when you say eclipse it or he clips it, it almost sounds the same. So the joke is just a little play on words. How does the moon cut his hair? Eclipse it.
Hey, I don't have a comment to respond to today. Sorry about that or a second phrase. I just thought I'd pop out and talk to you for a bit about things that are happening. So yes, I am going to try and do a live stream on my other channel on Monday, April 8 about the eclipse. So hopefully you can make it to that. It's not the best time of day for most of you. It's at three. I'll probably livestream from about 03:00 until 04:00 the eclipse will have already started, but I think we have total darkness from 3:20 until 3:24, something like that. So I'll try to start at a good time. I might start a little earlier than 02:00 but it's happening right here. So I'm really looking forward to that. Why don't I have a comment to reply to?
And why don't I have two phrases today? Well, because if you ever listen to my... when I describe my year, this is another busy time. If you want to guess. Why is Bob busy right now? It's midterms. So midterms would be the middle of the semester. That means that I just spent this week making sure all my students had everything graded. I put grades in for midterm grades. I had to write a little comment for every student. That's done as well. So it makes my week a little busy. It's not overwhelming, but it was busy enough that when I got to this point in the day, I thought, you know what, I'll just go outside and tell a joke and kind of explain my busyness.
I used to apologize when I'm busy. I don't do that anymore because many of you have said, don't apologize, Bob, you make lots of really good lessons for us. And sometimes having one or two lessons late or sometimes skipping a lesson isn't a big deal. I don't really like skipping them. But anyways, I hope you're having a good week. I hope you have a good Friday. I hope that you understood the joke and hopefully you can tell it to someone else. And I hope to see you on Monday in the chat. I'll have my eclipse glasses on so I'm not sure if I'll be able to read the chat, but hopefully I see you there. I'll probably schedule the live stream sometime... I'll schedule it Sunday with the exact time that I'm going to start on Monday and be prepared that I might start a bit early. I don't know a lot about eclipses so I'll have to kind of play it by ear. There's a good phrase for you maybe look that one up. I have to play it by ear.
Anyways, thanks for watching. See you in a couple days with another short English lesson. Bye.
