Heavy cold today, which is a lousy ailment for a college teacher. When you only teach two days a week, how in good conscience can you take a day off unless you are immobile and/or rife with infection? Short answer is you can't. You wheeze a little, get light headed as the illness interacts with the adrenaline that naturally arises as you lecture and let the class out 15 minutes early.

Meanwhile, I'm working on McCain nicknames. I think Gimli works. He's also rather Puckish.
