My head is already on vacation.

I have two more lectures to deliver, two finals, final grades and commencement yet, but summer has started and I'm ready to go anywhere that is not Ellesiouville.

Thank heaven for Priceline, through which I obtained 5 nights at a 3-star hotel in the heart of downtown Funkycool City, which is only a two-hour drive away, for $60 a night. I plan to drag the Angry family to museums and theaters and zoos and, if Fate smiles on me, a major-league baseball game.

If only Priceline could do my grades for me...
