Oceans white with foam (check).

I'm working on a lesson for tomorrow based on the controversy around flag burning. It's sort of grown out of a few conversations I've had with people lately about the U.S. and its future, and the subsequent thinking I've been doing. It's pretty interesting to read through the First Amendment again, fondly remember Constitution classes, and try to find a way to phrase "redress of grievances" that German teenagers will understand.

So it seemed fully appropriate that I went to the movies last night and saw Hot Fuzz. It was brilliant. I think it came out in the U.S. a few months ago, but if you haven't seen it, I would definitely recommend it.
