I delayed posting today, because I believed that I would have incredibly good news to report to you. Instead, I just have pretty good news.
Tomorrow is the start of Easter Break. I suspected that this evening's class of 20 would be rather thin, as it is so very tempting to start Easter break just a few days early.
For that reason, I prophesized, and then wrote down my belief that less than half the class would be in attendance. My prediction was 9 students.
In fact, there were 17. A lesser man (Harvey Oswald, Most of the Muppets, etc.) would certainly be impressed by the improbable accuracy I achieved.
But to my mind the event suggests that I have not exactly sealed up the title of most accurate prophet in the fourth quadarant.
Because I thrive on challenge, this event reminds me that I have an area to improve in. And if my powers of prediction serve, I believe that on April 31st 2007, my gift (what else can you call it?) will be greatly enhanced--almost beyond belief.
