Chalk up another week at da Rock.

I should have gone to Happy Hour after work. I did not though. That's why I'm here typing. If I worked in a Manhattan school this would not be a problem. There would be no need to worry about being sober in order to drive home or anything. Just have drinks and fun. 

So I have to decide between reading and teaching Lord of the Flies or The Chocolate War. Which one to teach? The school copies of The Chocolate War look as if they are first edition prints. We just had new copies of Lord of the Flies delivered to the school. The only major factor in deciding is that I've read The Chocolate War before but never in a way to teach.  

I should decide fairly soon. 

This weekend I will go to H & R to do my taxes and formulate the research project I will assign my freshmen students to do over mid-winter break. 

Once February is in the past, on to some legit literature! 

So it goes.
