Last Day

Today is technically my last day of classes for this semester. The two remaining classes in each course during the week after Thanksgiving will host final "group presentations" and make-up speeches from those lazier students.

It is always an interesting time: getting grades together, writing SLOGS, doing letters of reference for scholarships (3-5 so far). I need the "free time" to also catch up with about a million household and yard chores. Hopefully it won't be too cold for the latter.

Lots of turmoil in the news today: Russia and Turkey both in an "emergency meeting" at the UN over the war plane being shot down; Trump bellowing mightily about torture (waterboarding) and Black Lives Matter (terrorist group -- now, thanks to Trump, under attack around the nation by white supremacist racist groups); Obama not quite being strong enough to command the public eye, and Congress in absolute chaos over its simple "business." Welcome to America!
