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...
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You're obviously allergic to work, Jesse.

I knew it!
Do you think I can go out on disability for that?
(No disrespect intended to anyone with actual disabilities...)

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.
