New Semester

The spring semester started yesterday. So far, so good. They looked interested, asked questions, laughed at my jokes, participated in my "So What Do You Remember About American History?" activity (So what do they remember? Each class was different, but the trend was the American Revolution and Columbus. And nobody named any women until I prompted them). After the first lecture, I'll have a better idea of where we stand. Will I like them or despise them?!

Tonight, G. and I visit our friendly dentist-across-the-border. I was already fitted for the crown; tonight, it will be installed (wrong word, but it sounds funny, yes?). G is getting his teeth cleaned for the bargain basement price of $25 (instead of $185). My crown will cost $180, a price I can very easily live with (I cannot live with the regular price of $900). I feel like I know this amazing secret and I'm stickin' it to the (Dental) Man-- ha! actually, I'm no genius for going to Juarez for dental work. Oh, well.
