Good Evening, Class!

Welcome Students, Parents, Alumni (and the NSA)! I don't just work from 6:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I'm apt to be thinking about something for class at any time of the day or night. So I decided to start "THS After Hours" as a way of extending our day. If you're new at the blog, the most recent entries are at the top of the page, and they get older and older as you go down the page. Just like archaeology.

Although I hardly ever do this, I called out one of my students the other day on a matter of word usage. (It happens to be one that really gets to me: the difference between uninterested and disinterested.)

But here's a website that should make us all feel better about ourselves when we slip up in our grammar or our usage: even celebrities make mistakes!
