the major reason for the lack of updates this week was having to grade 240 midterm exams. sadly, i don't even have any funny quotes from them to share with you, since it's mostly graphs and figures and regurgitation.

(although i do have kids who think that universal time is anchored, in order of increasing preposterousness, in new zealand, the atlantic ocean, the north pole, and 'the stars'.)

also trying to get the paper from my research last summer sent off to JOCN, probably to be summarily rejected.
