Please remind me to never never again pull weeds. I know it's never a good time to throw out one's back, but this is an especially bad time. Grades are due tomorrow morning at ten, and I'm afraid my back will stiffen if I sit in a chair. How will grades get done? Beats me.

Oh yah, tomorrow night I have to direct a choir. Just what my back needs. Today my drummer flaked out on me; the night before the gig. Perfect.

S is coming to visit in June, in between my trip to Vegas and a workshop at SU.

I have now experienced paralizing back pain, and I'm ready to say--I'm against it!
