After an absurdly long time being locked out of my own site because I was too stupid to realize I was trying to log in with the wrong username, my teaching blog is back up and running. Just a quick (but funny!) post for now, but I'll be posting regularly from now on.
Here's the link: Long Absence...But Pictures!
Please feel free to pass the site along to any teacher types in your life.
The recap for last week's Lost has been published at TWoP, which I mention here, because it contains a few BtVS shout-outs, in honor of our girl's 12th anniversary (today).
If you read it, you might want to click on the "Theme Song" link, when you come across it. Cheers.
This seems like the sort of thing NYistas, or others visiting NYC might want to know about:

There are only three multiple-choice questions.

As part of a promotion for one of our books, Drollerie Press is sponsoring Pagan Singles, a dating/friends/group site that allows people to post dating personals. I'm hoping that some of you merry band of people will go sign up and create a profile and a post, poke around, try to break it (but not too hard), and let me know what it's missing or what it ought to do differently.
You can read about the book, which will be published electronically this week, at [link]
