I heard from HDE yesterday, and he has not made reservations, yet.

Possibly, if you have a place to stay down here, you might want to do Boo at the Zoo with us (if there are still tickets) on Saturday night?
on the 23rd? ooo. checking.
Sox, I did finally send an email to your profile addy.

thank you! I saw it, but I've only just surfaced after a couple of bleh days. Should box & mail this weekend. And answer questions too.
Five students braved the rain and came to my office hours. I think I was actually helpful to at least three of them. (One wanted help on something where she totally didn't understand the background material needed, so I told her to go work on that background material and then come back to the current work. Another kept nodding and saying he understood everything I said, but then when I asked him questions, he clearly didn't understand, but then he said, "OK, I think I understand it all now" and left.)

Maybe he just wanted to visit the hot teacher.
FWIW Hil, I've learned not to ask "Do you understand?" and instead say something like, "Ok, now show me how to solve for x" or "Let's do this equation in steps: show me how to start" or whatever.
Re: bald eagles - many years ago I had a chance to visit a sort of bald eagle rehab center. These particular eagles were all on the ground and were less afraid of people. I was very impressed by how fierce they looked up close. They don't seem all that fierce in the sky but their legs and talons were very impressive up close.
Connie, if Charlie Eppes from Numbers were a real person, I'd so do that. Despite the fact that my general innumeracy would break his delicate genius brain.
And I'd still be hopeless at math...I'd just feel better about it.
My drop leaf table has finally been delivered. I think I need to play around a bit with exactly where in the room it goes -- centered on the wall, or centered under the window. I think centered under the window.
