That was a painful lesson, but I shall spread the word wherever I go....DO NOT TEACH THE DICKENS! The only play I've fallen asleep during as a chaperone was the same Tale of Two Cities. Again, lesson learned.<BR/><BR/>I'm totally psyched that Ilse will be joining our ranks. It's a great gig when you get lucky enough to find the right school. If you're in the mood to go south, I know just the place....<BR/>oh, and my poor publik skool students are going on a pilgrimage tomorrow and solving a puzzle about Lollards.
