i haven't forgotten you,

my faithful readers. i've been ever so busy, what with finishing up the school year and all. in fact, as we speak, we're having our final in one of my freshman classes. the chips and drinks are very challenging to the brain. okay, so i'm a little easy on the freshmen. or, is it that i don't want to be inundated grading a million finals and miss my flight to amsterdam? could be...my juniors do have a real final, though; it's a big one. i wanted to make sure that those that hate me really have a good reason to hate me going out. i'll worry about it when i'm on my way to amsterdam. actually, probably not even then.

my daughter has a new phrase. i have no idea where she picked it up. she has now incorporated "oh, fuck" into her everyday vocabulary. fuck, that's bad.

well i'm going to try and make myself useful for a few hours before i have some real finals to grade.

piece out.
