Teacher boy!

Yeah, that's a student rendition of yours truly from one of my Antiochians tonight; I left the room during small groups and it was there when I came back. My Utilikilt doesn't have a scalloped hem, but otherwise I think the likeness is uncanny.

I'm blogging to you tonight from Remedy Teas up on Cap Hill. Otis picked me up from school after my evening class, so we have made a night of it. That thing she's waving around is a knife with which to butter toast, toast to go with our teas, Blue Hawaiian for Otis and Iron Goddess of Mercy for me.

It has been a terribly busy forty-eight hours since we got back - nine of those actually in class, and the rest, it seems, getting to and from school or prepping. The interval (as I have come to think of the Thursday through Sunday period, since I must maintain an online presence although I don't have classes) promises to be extremely busy as well. I have carved out two sections of playtime: Stella's Rabbie Burns Dinner on Friday night, and the Comixtravaganza at SPL on Saturday afternoon. Aside from those oases of enjoyment, it looks like I will be trekking through the desert of grading, prep, and tenure work from now until I am back in the classroom on Monday afternoon.

Yojimbo called tonight - he was heading up to the Crest to catch some flicks; I couldn't join him or even hook up, since I was teaching.

I got an email tonight from one John Stremikis, who was doing some genealogical research and tripped over an old HKC blog posting about surname frequency. Perhaps we'll hear more of this... could it be the Bummerman of Earth-2?

Gotta go, my evil twin is calling.
