The best day ever?

As news of the school closing swept through the hallways at 2:30 today, one student remarked to me that this was the "Best Day Ever". Never mind the dozens of people who are sick with the Swine-flu, never mind the dozens that have died from it; to this student, closing the school for 10 days because of a possible pandemic constitutes the best day ever.

At least he has his priorities straight.

Jay and I are stuck at home. We are encouraged not to gather. We are ordered to continue teaching via the internet and telephone.

If anyone has any great ideas for filling the suddenly large amounts of down time in our days, I would love to hear them.

In happier reports, we ended up with a party at our house last night with these people.
There was lots of raucous laughter, smack talk, and yummy snacks. All of these things equal an extremely fun time.
