59 and 82

Respectively. All I spun today (with the exception of Woody Guthrie in class as we study the Depression and all of its 'teachable moments' with the disastrous Clinton-Bush deregulation failures of historic proportion) was the Boss and Coltrane. School wraps up on Friday, thank God. Looking forward to a couple of weeks of not grading homework and spending time with books at night and children in the day. Maybe Twain Harte and the zoo; beautiful morning walks and jazz evenings. Maybe even a couple of weeks making out-of-state phone calls to swing voters on behalf of the Obama campaign. And, some blogging!

Spun within the last twenty-six hours in honor of the great men today:
