Three-alarm lunch

Big mistake: onion rings for lunch today. They were yummy, but I went straight from lunch to assisting incoming freshman with registration, and then straight from there to getting ready to teach my evening class. My mouth now tastes like I've been chewing on dirty sweatsocks. This is a job for Altoids! Hope I don't make my class faint dead away just by opening my mouth. Maybe I'll just sit up front smiling and nodding while the students do the talking. If nothing else, it'll be a quick class.
