Whoa! Pants, by a landslide. Thanks to everyone who replied!
I'm so sorry about the post-and-run. It was not intentional. We have had rotating teacher's strikes for the past three weeks, and just yesterday they voted for a full-scale strike starting next week -- the cacky, as they say, has hit the fan. Anyone with school-aged children has been doing some scrambling yesterday today. And since Friday (tomorrow) was the rotating strike day for our district, today is in fact the last day of the year for our kids. (Unless they province and the teacher's union can come to an agreement before the last day of school). I will be scarce for the next while!
