Glad I could help out with the post grading slump. I remember one night grading ~40 papers on Ethan Frome, I nearly lost my noodle. And regarding, the West Side Story, I think I remember a song to the tune of "if they got blades, we've got blades," which, simply by adding medical devices, could get _radically_ dorky fast ;) Hi Ali!

Thanks. It's nice to know that someone else's view of the world is as skewed by random culture references as my own. I'd pay to see this "interpretation" of West Side Story...scrubs and scalpels, anyone? After a long evening of grading, this made me laugh! Thanks.
