Flynn: Drake, I want some pretzels.

I have a few minutes before the next class begins to sit still.  I haven't been able to do this much lately.  The new quarter started, and with it, I am teaching two classes and the business starts in nine schools.  Momentum is building.  I've never been so happy to be so stressed out.
