An Email from Ira

As I go to check my email because I just remembered Ira had emailed us last week about a paper due tomorrow that I had COMPLETELY forgotten existed:

Bad news, fun lovers. Your favorite professor has been called upon by Carrol
County to preform his civic duty and show up for Jury Duty. Therefore
cotemporary Theatre Class will not meet on Tues 18. This does not mean you have
the time off. There is much for you to do. Read "The Homecoming" if you have
not yet finished it yet. If you have finished it read "Buried Child". The best
advantage my absence will provide is the opportunity for you to polish your 1st
short paper (or begin it) since the due date will be moved to Thurs 20.
I'll tell you all about my adventures on the Jury when I return. Perhaps, we
can use my report as the plot for a contemporary play.
and so it goes...

Bless this man.
