just another skill i have....

my library has a great selection of magazines. my male students love to check them out and look at pictures of horses, pickups, motorcycles, and snow machines. unfortunately, some of these magazines have other pictures that are not so virtuous.

finds one of these...

they generally find some of these too....(Note, the example below is actually more modest than many adds I've seen lately in the magazines.)

I loved the song so much I even learned the words to it, which doesn't occur very often for me. That's another story though.
