Staples? Yea, I've got that.

I went back to doctor today and they removed the "death" mole from my back. Just to "be safe," they also removed the skin around it, too. I buy the need to remove a potentially lethal piece of skin, by why remove the healthy part? I mean, it wasn't doing anything wrong...just being skin, and then BAM! In a Petri dish being fed-exed to another bone man. Anyway, to finish the job, they sutured my skin back together with something that looked suspiciously like a stapler. For what it's worth, it didn't hurt, at least for several hours.

Last weekend, my students did really well at the Lewis-Clark State College tournament! They're really just a great group to be around. Case in point--since today is Halloween, we dressed up in costumes for the final day of the tournament. Kahali was a cowgirl, Jared was a pirate, Sam and I were three-hole-punch Sam and Thomas (from "The Office") and Josh and Tiffanie were mimes (complete with makeup). We had a blast!
