Today is Poisoned Blackberries Day. No, that doesn't mean you SHOULD find and/or eat poisoned blackberries--it's supposedly to commemorate the old Scottish folk tale of the devil spitting on blackberries to signify the arrival of fall and the expiration of summer's fresh blackberry season. And since we are currently entrenched in The Scottish Play in my AP classes, it's strangely poetic that today is PBD.

Sophys: We need to return a pile of graded work before we get started today, and circulate the Author of the Day Presentation sign-up sheet. Then. . .Antigone! And a massive review for the Literary Terms Master Test on Friday!

APees: So the Senior Panoramic Picture completely messed with my reality on Friday, and I forgot to hand back some graded stuff AND forgot to give you the next focus paper assignment. Forty lashes with a wet noodle to me, and delayed presents to you. We are proceeding with MacStuff today and acting out Act III, scene iii with props and great gusto. Much ado about something!
