Oh,

  .  .  .  and fresh bak-la-va-ahhhhhh!  A most fabulous guest speaker returned to my Geography classes for the 5th year running (thank you!) to share his Greek heritage with the freshmen  .  .  .  In addition to awesome stories about Greek culture and his fascinating up-bringing, motivational talk to the kids about dreams, goals, and staying out of trouble, this gentleman also treats us to my favorite Greek dessert.  His visits are always a huge hit, and my kids at home delight in his extra generosity of sending with me the remaining pastries. 

And it's Friday.  Breathe  .  .  .
