Class in a sauna

That's how it feels up on the 3rd floor. I'm disappointed w/this batch of Thai kozo and really wonder--same exact problem from last year in Cleveland. I wonder if we have to switch to lye to make it cook down, since it's not budging. Luckily, there is some magic mitsumata that will save the day tomorrow, I hope. The cooking vent is crazy loud so today was hard, but my students were troopers. Tonight I got to see Katherine and have a good dinner, but I got horribly lost both ways. The way home, which was only supposed to be a few miles, took about an hour. Rain, night, no directional sense in this city. I'll be grateful for the sleep.
