Heheh... I'll take the block of fudge.... won't be around long
enough for anyone to question it, I'm sure.

In any case, I've registered for my fall class...

Here's the syllabus from last fall...

Looks like it's gonna be a fun course...

Yikes! Have some fudge covered mice to snack on while you recuperate.

That syllabus looks impressive; it could be a fun time -- for any of several
possible values of "fun."

Curiosity question: assuming that a similar syllabus will be used for the
class you take, what do you expect to come out of the fourth course
objective? Given the amount of both ink and blood that's been spilled
because of theological differences large and small, I think that it would be
both interesting and instructive to see what the students produce to meet
that objective, both in factual content and in tone.

typing and my proofreading just aren't as accurate then. {small smile}

<massive ogre grin> Could be worse... I could have gone a whole
OTHER direction with the word "hoe" but I figured that the PG
rating was shocked enough from SAMK's comment.

Except, of course, for when the Pope doesn't like the Anglicans having
female priests, even though bunches of protestants have had them for ages,
and even though discriminating in job selection by gender is prohibited by a
large number of secular laws.
