Icarus skywriting # 32

Unquiet Hours
Oh - its officially the end of summer which is to say its the first week of teaching and as we all know that means its only 12 weeks to Christmas, hoots! Its the time of unquiet hours, interrupted by enthusiastic youngsters whose dreams of lives to come still haunt their dreams. Not me, I dreamt of Venus Williams the other night. Most odd, and she was only 5'3 tall - I expected her to be taller - must be the TV that does that. But in the spirit of the unquiet, I thought I would introduce the fantastic Lau with a  very spirited number because my students have probably never heard of them and staying that one step ahead is always a good thing for all academics. And, indeed, writing a 36 word sentence that makes sense too (see previous) is a coup they have yet to master, I suspect. Am I a wordy-rapping-hoodlum? You bet your life I is!
