Unfortunately, I can't stay and grade, interact, respond, etc. but it seemed a shame not to have a class today, so here is our word for the day, even it it's not a "Friday" word.

Let's hope they all vote the same tune.

Sorry, her name is 'Landrieu'. Although she will be jejune soon enough that I shouldn't have to remember that.

I have no idea what happened to her. I just know that I didn't piss her off or anything. At any rate, I felt we had gone too long without a new class.

Thanks, VRWC. I am having major pc and internet connection issues today. I keep losing my connection or cannot get connected at all, every page is taking forever to load. It rained quite a bit here last night...don't know if that has anything to do with it.
