The first thing to come to mind, actually, was "Anybody want a peanut?"

I admit that I'm having a hard time choosing between:

I learned today that the new siding is being put on the house starting Monday, the first day of class.  At least we ( Read more... )

I finally decided this morning that completely revamping my course will not happen this year.  I am about a month behind due to the Rube Goldberg class which was added to my summer at the last minute.  I'll just add the interactive lecture demos (ILDs) that I learned about in Oregon last year and otherwise go with my old syllabus.  Maybe I'll have ( Read more... )
