Date Announcements
November 20, 2009

Because so many people will be leaving early for Thanksgiving, I have tried to make it as painless as possible to skip the November 25 class, by making it clear that no new material would be covered. I've now decided that's just foolish.
No class November 25.
I am also extending the due date for the Ruby Shoes assignment by five days.
Happy Thanksgiving!
