I think you should blaze a new path - say for Tuesdays. Anyway - here's a link for champaigne and its longevity. <A HREF="http://www.champagnemagic.com/faqs.htm">http://www.champagnemagic.com/faqs.htm</A> Only one way to find out, but I’m more curious to hear why a Saturday in late May is so important?

Noon Saturday was the day I submitted my last paper of the semester. I have one year in and another to go before I get my M.A. In the end, I still didn't open the champaigne. Sleep was way more important. Charles, thanks for the link. Noon Saturday was the day I submitted my last paper of the semester. I have one year in and another to go before I get my M.A.
In the end, I still didn’t open the champaigne. Sleep was way more important.

Also - i have a thought about your view that students don't share their blog and/or that they simply don't. Have you thought about the effect of personality? I think the Myers-Briggs breakdowns we grew up with have been replaced. Instead of 16 sets of initials (INTP, EFTJ, etc) it seems they now fall into one of four - Controller, Persuader, Stabilizer and Analyzer. Decision making and interaction with people are still the two drivers - but I recently heard a description that put it into a sharper perspective. Think of your personality diagram as an iceberg. At rest is the default position - say introverted and take charge (controller). However, you rotate this iceberg depending on the situation - to extrovert, to process thinker, or to a comforter. My thought is this: If a student's default position is introverted - would blogging feel like public speaking? That may explain the reluctance you've seen in some. np.
