Tonight's wine.

Yes, it was a special night in the Squirrel household. Opening a bottle of wine valued at more than $10 always marks some kind of important occasion.

Summer classes have been assigned, and we both ended up with at least two (assuming students register for them). Many professors, I'm sure, would cringe at the idea of losing most of their summer to teaching... for us, it means keeping food in the cat bowls and in the refrigerator. And not even the same food, at that!!

Seriously, it's a load off both our minds. And since we didn't get through the whole bottle, I can have a nice relaxing glass of wine tomorrow night, too. (Thanks in part to the wonders of the Vac-U-Vin. If you ever wondered whether this particular item was worth $12.99, let me assure you that it most certainly is.)

Ah yes, the desperate need for students to sign up for the summer courses. Lee teaches two summer courses, assuming sufficient registration. Tenured faculty are always shocked when they discover that junior faculty WANT, desperately, to teach summer courses. Have they looked at the cost of housing lately?
