Lion cub, Columbus ZooOur cubs are growing up so quickly! This is one of three lion cubs at the Columbus Zoo. They're currently 10 months old and are beginning to look like lions instead of tawny puff balls. They're absolutely adorable

... You really just captured the perfect moment, didn't you?
Don't you just love getting lucky shots like this? It really makes you ecstatic for a few minutes, doesn't it?
Nice job, my dear!

It was a really great moment to capture 
(by the way, apologies for the horrendous delay on replying to this-- it is that time of year again: the start of a new school year, and I am completely bogged down in work!)

It is quite the giddy little thrill to capture that one, perfect moment.
Hey, say no more! No need to apologize, my dear.
You're a teacher, so i know full well you have your hands full.

And they have me teaching 7th grade English this year... I may need you to come mop me off the school floor come about Thanksgiving

Oh I know that feeling quite well. [link]
Wow. I know full well that twelve-year-olds can make for a tough audience, especially when it comes to matters literary.
So, you're teaching the fair subject of composition, eh?
Which just happens to be one of my specialties.
You just say the word, and I'll come and be your backup.
I'll Chaucer the kids left and right, and fill them with so much of the pure deadliness of Jack London that they won't know what's what.
"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hellβs heart I stab at thee; for hateβs sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear!"

Read them?
I'd come in dressed like Ahab, ivory leg and all, brandish a harpoon at them and recite it verbatim.
That'll keep the little ones in line.

I'd have to bring my camera in order to properly capture their looks of trepidation.

If nothing else it will inspire a love of literature in the kids... Or the fear of god.
Either one will make your job easier.

So very, very true

From what I understand, a good amount of teaching is just psychological warfare.

So very true.
Especially when one teaches junior high.

I don't envy you your position.
You're a brave woman to go toe-to-toe with twelve-year-olds.
I SALUTE You!

Brave? Or masochistic? I suppose it remains to be seen...

Hey, you need a little danger in your life, right?

And teaching a bunch of pre-teens will give you all the danger you can handle and then some, my dear.

Most definitely

Well, I have faith in you.
Hey, I can tell from your Avatar that you have the eye of the tiger.
