How luck you are to have an aide. This is my first year without one. When I
was in public education I had 5 aides -- maybe next year I will get one. In
this school we also do internal substitutions so I volunteered this morning
to take a buddy's class last period - gave me a good time to read as it was
our LAP period (study hall). I had to finish a new book on the Latter-day
Saints for a review in Catholic Library World.

Must be the weather - I am feeling empty-headed today too.
