Jeez, it's wrong for me to be up and about to leave for work before sunrise, but even wronger for you.
My new tights smell like balloons. I fear this will be distracting. But not enough to go upstairs and rummage through the sock drawer. Onward!

I like Khan Academy. The gamieness of it is actually fun. I have reviewed some math concepts on their site and spent time practicing.

The status is NOT quo.
Flip teaching isn't actually all that new--it's very cool for certain lessons and classes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck with that, Sophia.

That's bananas. Were they all going to or from some event? That article doesn't say, as far as I could tell.
