And if you would have lived in the home, you wouldn't have had that experience.

That's true, too.

I hadn't realized that.

But the funny thing is, the one thing that I miss, and I set that up for you to say, what was that one thing?

I was teaching a large course in a few weeks.

All of my notes were burnt.

What was I going to do?

Oh, man.

So I called the student from the year before who got an A, and I borrowed her notes.

It was like a game of teleprompter.

That's great.

And I apologized to the class before telling them that I don't know how this is going to go for the following reason.

And I think it was the best class that I taught.

Really?

Because it was happening right then, that all of the information I was giving them was

a new version or a version that I believe right at this moment.

You know, when you present PowerPoints, it's just too easy not to use the same PowerPoints and to, you know, you don't want to think things through.

So you're innovating things.

You're adding to it.
