Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Kat, so frustrating!

I was definitely planning on sending it on to Plei once it gets to me, if she wants it.

Yeah, I could stand a repurge by that point, probably. Which is to say, I'm sure I'll have some impulse regrets that Do Not Work on me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It's a plan then! Maybe I will save stuff I was going to send to Colorado for then.

Having just been on a jury of a hit and run (or rather, a hit and run [twice], park, then walk back), what is the evidence? Is there any damage to your car? Does someone claim to have seen something?

Also, what about the plaid?

I am not wearing ANY PLAID! However, since the supposed hit and "run" (park) happened at my house, I cannot stay fled!

As for the "evidence"...my bumper is supposedly the height of the damage to his car. But I say there's no way I'd be pulling in or backing out and manage to hit him at that angle--there's no one parked next to me on the other side, so it's not like it's tight and I need to swing that way.

If the bumper doesn't fit, you must acquit!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Ok, I've assigned a twitter assignment to my kids. We don't really have computers in my classroom. So yesterday in the computer lab, we logged into twitter and made accounts that I then asked that they attach to their mobile number. At the end of each class, they are required to tweet a question or a statement about one thing they learned in class that day.

On day 2, it's kinda fun.

I'm trying to think of ways to STOP fighting them and their cell phones. Or to harness it for my class.

That sounds like a fun assignment, Kat. All of your students have cell phones?

All but one. Even the kids who don't have internet at home or no access? They have cell phones.

What's cool about them twittering is that I have a much better read on who doesn't get what and who doesn't know what to write or how to write it or whatever. I wonder if this will improve the turn in rate on my other assignments.
