I wish I had rain boots, and an actual rain coat. The good news is that I will learn if this skirt really needs to be dry cleaned or not...
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, there was an enormous water bug walking around my office until my boss killed it, and I think the slight sore throat I've had for a couple of days may be resolving into a cold. I mean, how could it be allergies in the pouring rain?

You're obviously allergic to work, Jesse.

I knew it!
Do you think I can go out on disability for that?

Minimum class size for next year is 27 kids, I think. So I can't split 50 into two 25s, because then the classes are too small to remain open.
I did give summer reading which might cull the herd (4 books of the Bible, Illiad and Odyssey, Origin of Species and 2 other books of their choice). I think the rule will be that if you don't complete summer work, you get kicked out of the class.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, I was going to do some walking around this morning, but NSM with all the rain. Can't even get to Barnes & Noble at Lincoln Center without potentially drowning.

Kat, that's bonkers. Your plan sounds good.
Barb, you're in NYC??

Like today, Noah articulated a sequence of events, in chronological order that he remembered.
Too cool!! (And not at all boring. Brains are AWESOME.)

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, quickie overnight visit-- Got in yesterday morning, was in meetings all day until nearly ten at night and I'm flying out at noon, so that's why I didn't say anything. I seriously have to make a plan to visit NYC with just the express purpose of visiting NYistas with a side of visiting publishers and agent.

Rain should be gone in 2-3 hours, hopefully in time for lunch.
Me, I'm at home today, supposed doing my laundry and packing for the F2F.
