Saturday and Sunday were the first of my weekend classes. My syllabus was rather intense. Not in the school work way. Rather in the "Don't mess with me" way. I gave them a lecture about plagiarism. I figured I wasn't clear enough last semester that they WOULD fail the class if they cheated. So, I tried to emphasize that this time.

I've seen some great American classics - Scarface, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, The Odd Couple, and the Valley of the Dolls for a few...
