Thank you for understanding. (And yes, if there were any other way around this, I'd take it - I hate missing a week with them as well, and it's always harder to get them going the next class, even without the missed content.) I have been assured by the committee that it won't be a problem this spring, though.

I've been mired in the YPL work for the past week, but once we're past Saturday's events, my time should ease up. Is there anything I can do to help you out with our visitors?
