Amusing Stuff
Note for students in my classes: Some of you have been
asking me about whether it is true that I spy on everything
you do on this web page and that if you spend too much
time reading the jokes instead of your lessons, I automatically
cut class participation points. This is not true. Do
not worry about these unsubstantiated rumors.
