April first comes and goes

This April Fool's, I did not fool my students, or even attempt to.

No fooling.

I did wear an Elmo tie, because I've recently set up the Elmo document camera for my classroom. (Some teachers call the camera "the Elmo," which I find unprofessional.)

My life, post-National Board, is suddenly pregnant with whimsy.

(I defy you to find someone else who'd ever say "pregnant with whimsy" with a straight, or crooked, face.)

I do still love parentheses.
