It's been a few days since I've posted anything and I actually feel at a loss--I guess this blogging business is sticking to me.

I took over a Tuesday night class, so my workload increased just a wee bit for that day. After three classes in a row, I get so tired of hearing myself talk. But I must be making some sense--students are taking notes after all--or maybe they're noting that Miss looks a little crazy-eyed and has gone off on a tangent about prostitution in the West.

It takes me a week or two to get myself truly into semester-mode. For example, instead of finishing my lecture, I'm checking blogs, news, positioning the satellite radio antenna, taking an early morning nap, and reviewing my lecture. Multitasking at its best!

The news is not good. I don't want to get too much into it, you've heard and seen all the headlines. Hurricane disaster, Iraq stampedes and attacks, gas prices, and much more that makes you just shake your head. I get my news in hour long chunks, then force myself to turn off the radio or tv. Sometimes, I feel like its a relief to talk about the past because at least you know how its going to end. These recent events can make you nervous.

Here's another picture of G. & Filo. They know how to calm a crazy-eyed, nervous me.
