1.  I’m tired.

2.  I have forty essays to grade before I can go to bed.

3.  It’s almost 3 a.m.

4.  They are not good essays.

5.  They are, in fact, terrible essays.

6.  Spell-check is not your friend.  Spell-check is not anybody’s friend.   Spell-check will stab you in the back and exit, laughing.

7.  Repeat after me:  “Anyways” is not a real word.

8.  Commit this to memory:  “Done” is not a helping verb.  People who say things like  “I done went” make baby angels cry.

9.  Thank you, certain members of my Monday morning class, for those VERY kind e-mails.

10.  People who have a bone to pick with someone, but who proceed to pick that bone with everyone EXCEPT the person involved, are cowards.    Thass what I said.

11.  Idioms are funky and fun.

Eleven is a cool number.  Christopher Guest’s amp goes to eleven.  Wizard kids go to Hogwarts when they’re eleven.  I’ll just stop at eleven.

Except, of course, that I didn’t.  Not really.
