I don't want a prolonged duty solely because of my family... and of course you all, what would you do without FOOL ball for that week?

We would miss it...I mean you.

I think that's the only problem, leaving my students for that long. Though I'd probably secretly love the break!

Baltimore has a magic number of 5
Napa Valley has a magic number of 6

Boston and Tokyo are still mathematically alive.

Ann Arbor has a magic number of 9
Chico has a magic number of 10

Everyone in the RL is still mathematically alive except for Hartford

I am sure my wife would love a jury duty break away from my youngest daughter
