QUOTE: "Today, at junior high, one of the kids made one of the shades roll up, and I thought of you."

-A substitute teacher friend in Illinois, recalling the day 10 years ago, about this time of the year, when my classmate and I damaged the school classroom blinds by fighting over the amount of sunshine allowed in our English room. Before the teacher went inside, we did this. She walked in, horrified and furious. Our peers loved it though, because our teacher spent a quarter of the class time unsuccessfully putting the blinds back together and calling the janitor.
