Oh ... I don't know. Some of my students are in the WILDEST kindergarten class I've ever seen. Their classroom teacher has been handing them over to me this week and all but running for the door. It's a tough way for me to make 13 bucks an hour, no benefits. I told Scott today "I may not survive kindergarten."

ah... DA, another genius who left us too soon.

"Can I interest you in a piece of my buttock?" or the sperm whale brought into being in less than low earth orbit ... never was a more exquisite piece of existentialism ever written.

You just better be glad ol' Uncle Bryan isn't there filling her head with new ideas...He's sort of notorious for that, apparently. At least I've been told as much.
