I'm sitting in my office, fourth one I've had over the past 18+ years.  This one faces a hall so I do some meeting and greeting.  Shmoozed with a few kids already and they also enjoyed some sour chews.

Five minutes to class.  May G-d bless me and the students to have a great experience of learning.
