Sparky, I haven't been keeping up, but I've heard rumblings. That bad?
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

There are unresolved issues that this Dean has not let the U administration weasel out of addressing and I am afraid of anyone else who steps in and doesn't hold the U. to account.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Interesting. Our President just resigned in a not very good way, but I think he was more of a fall guy/didn't address issues than getting pushed out for pushing to address issues. If that word salad made any sense.

Grammar question!
Is it "There are a considerable number of Mexican restaurants in the area" or"There's a considerable number of Mexican restaurants in the area"

Ann, that's a ferret.
I've had "There is" and "There are" more or less drilled out of me. I'd say, "The area contains a considerable number of Mexican restaurants."

"There are" sounds better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think the question is, is "a number" singular or plural? I could argue either way, I bet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Since I'd say "A number of restaurants are in the area," I'd go with "There are." But I like Fred's rephrasing.
