Friday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Usually, I start the day cranking about Republicans.  Not today because I had a big night last night. My students graduated. I'm so proud. Every Monday night, I teach basic English to immigrants at a program called Language ETC.  This group had two Brazilians, two Russians and the rest were from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Colombia.  I only speak basic English, but my teaching partner, Carlos, speaks something like six languages, which comes in very handy.  It is a very rewarding experience -- and, while ostensibly I'm the teacher, I actually learn a lot from my students every week.  They make every second of it worthwhile.

Anyway, I'll be back to cranking about Republicans shortly.
