A little better than earlier in the week. A couple of minor incidents (didn't seem minor at the time, of course), but they look like the should iron out.

I have a freshmen class that isn't showing the slightest signs of New School Timidity. They walk into the room like they own the place and think they're still running junior high. I reigned them in a little today. Phone calls will be starting soon.

It's a living. At least, I'm not in the desert getting shot at. I'm in Brooklyn...

Oh, and they were filming Ugly Betty two blocks away from us yesterday, but I didn't realize what was going on at the time. Ah, well.

Boy...interesting times you live. Reigning in is good. Wishing you smooth sailing.
