CrustyProfessor is feeling very crusty today. He's feeling lucky. He forgot to go to his eight o'clock class and they didn't leave. They sent a class member up to fetch him. He was left feeling as fetching as his students looked.

A former student and current high school teacher dropped in and went to his class with him. He got to watch her talk about teaching. He likes listening to excellent, committed teachers talk about what they do. That's more fun than listening to himself.

Another former student and current high school teacher sent him a piece of writing about teaching that gave him similar feelings, even though that student wasn't in the same room. He felt fortunate that student thought to send the piece.

He went to his next class where he heard pieces of writing written by students read aloud by students. Good writing. Good students. Wise responses. He heard a student say "these people blow me away." He felt the same way.

CrustyProfessor is really SentimentalSlob.
