From the Holiday Backlog (continued):

• Recipe for World Peas (heh).
• A collage of funny pictures of Santa and/or Elves.
• Random curling statistics.
• How to build a house of cards.
• Even more puppies (really cute ones)

Good luck.

Today is the first day of classes at FSU, and for the first time in years, I don't have a single class to go to. This must be what it's like to drop out of college and live in a basement. This month, my time will be spent editing my thesis score and teaching sightsinging I. Both sections that I teach are on Tuesday and Thursday -- one in the normal music building, and one in the snooty musicians-only self-contained dorm. It should be fun -- I'll be teaching all the students I had last semester, except in two manageable portions.
