1. My WR 115 students could finish the course today if they handed in their last essay early and nearly all of them did. I'll return most of the essays on Thursday and a very good quarter will come to an end. This has been an easy group of students. I saw improvement in their writing and they worked right along with the things I assigned them to do. We enjoyed each other. In fact, it's been this way all year long in WR 115, so I leave the school year feeling good about the work we've done.
2. I enjoyed a quiet lunch at the Bier Stein. The reuben was good and so was the pasta salad. The two half beers were also good, a Hef from Germany and an Alaskan ESB. I had a good short conversation with Dave ("You doin' okay, brother?") about how browns, ESB, and ambers were all the rage as microbrews emerged around here. I hope they make a comeback, although none of them have disappeared. I sure enjoy all three styles.
