Paper Crackers

For some reason, these bagal crackers taste curiously like paper.  The good thing is there is no sugar, fats, salt, or whatever else might make them tasty.  I'm back in school, and it's only one more week until my sophomores present their power points on their chosen religion.  Boy, Rastafarians seem to have a lot of fun.  For those of you that don't know this religion/cult, it's the one that has been made famous by Bob Marley and his curious habit of smoking pot.  They even include this behavior into the religion/cult itself....I think that if all I had to do was to sing, dance, and get high, I'd be happy and love everyone, too. NOT. I do hope my students gain a greater understanding of what religion means to the world, and how difficult it can be to be good (even though it should be one of the easiest things we can do).
I'm so excited for Spring Break.  I was talking to Bill yesterday about where we should go.  I really want to get down to the ocean again, so maybe California will be the place we go (there's also some great shopping down there!).
For all of you out there that are keeping up with the Olympics, you probably already know that the Russian lock on the pairs figure skating has finally come to an end.  Concerning the judging, there's not much to say.  I know I have no control over it, and I surely don't understand all of it, but if I were to compare it with any other type of judging I might look at the judging (officiating) being done at high school basketball games.  I know this is a stretch, but sometimes I just want to ask (and I do, loudly) the refs what they're doing out there on the court.  Watching the game doesn't seem to be high on their list.
