 Graham, I was told today by the senior counselor that one of my students
is from Scotland and that this is her first year to attend school in the US.
Today was a work day for the teachers and a holiday for the students, and
I have only met her class once, so don't know her yet. It was interesting
to hear the counselor say that she didn't know where to place her since
the courses are so different (US and Scotland). I'm quite anxious to
become better acquainted with her and to discover where in Scotland she is
from.
 Also, we have a new teacher on our staff who has been teaching in Scotland.
Amazing how small our world really is.
 Have a good trip tomorrow.  Hope there is time for fudge. :-)

I wonder if Don is still so casual about strangers reading our archives

French is also full of animal-related expressions, e.g., to speak
French like a Spanish cow -- which is how the French would probably
describe my French -- but they wouldn't say it to my face, since,
contrary to popular U.S. myth, the French are very polite and supportive
of feeble attempts to use their beautiful language.

That's unusual these days.  Since today is the first day of classes, mine
