Did I mention I slept on a baseball field last night?

I think I said that at least a half a dozen times to my students in my Great American Afghan class this morning. Apologies to those who attended, I was not my most shiny happy self this morning. I mean I knew we were camping on Friday night, but I overestimated how much sleep I ...
