Lesson #1186 - The First Of October

Yes, it's only September 30th today, but I figured you should get at least a day to plan for Sages' Day, right? Years ago in college, I was abroad for April Fools' Day, so I belatedly celebrated it with October Fools' Day by kidnapping a friend's guinea pig and taking pictures with it in a casserole dish as I held a knife over it and placed it in a microwave. I wish I'd gone for Sages' Day, now, though. Guess it's time to make up for it!

Two quick notes: major thanks to everyone who helped transcribe all the past STW! I can't believe how quickly everyone jumped on that project and finished it. Thank you notes will be following to all who contributed.

Also, do you live in Minnesota? In three weeks, I will be in Minneapolis! How about that. Even better, on Friday, October 21st, I'll be giving a STW talk at the University of Minnesota! Time and location details will follow once they're completely hammered out - just wanted to give you a heads-up. See you there?
