First class of the new semester went well, I think. It's too early to get a good read on the class right now, but hopefully after our next couple of classes I'll have a better feel for where to go with things. I have to say, though, teaching the same class in the same room at the same time with all-new students is a bit disorienting, but I'll manage.
Between the end of class and now I went over to Wildwood to get a quick walk in, which may be the best way for me to get exercise on Mondays (Wednesdays are off because I have office hours during my break), and I also went to the "big" Media Play for what will likely be the last time. (Unless someone wants me to pick up a dozen copies of that 50 Cent videogame for cheap.) I didn't mention this in my earlier post, but that Media Play was built on the ground of what had been Toledo's last drive-in movie theatre. I vaguely recall going to see a movie there once, but I could be wrong.
Not long after that drive-in closed down, the one dine-in-car eatery we had, a place called Dudley's, quit the whole dine-in car thing and just became a regular greasy spoon. (From their commercials I can't tell if Sonic does the in-car thing, but we don't have any Sonics around here.) What really annoyed me about Dudley's was that back before I had my license and I used to drive around with Jeff, whenever we passed Dudley's he always made a sign of the cross. Sigh. (If you don't get that, you're one of the lucky ones, trust me.)
