Back To Work!

Yikes - back to work in the morning.

You missed the best vesion, Bugs Bunny and the Rabbit of Seville, although I'm thinking that this version might be a little to high-brow for your students :)

LoL @ Anonymous 4:45am. I saw this Bugs Bunny version on New Years Day. They showed a marathon of Looney Tunes cartoons and I made my kids watch it. The Rabbit of Seville was the final cartoon of the marathon...I loved it!!!

Anon @ #1 - Thanks!

I watched that while shaving this morning. Lucky I didn't nick myself. I'll post it around the time the Anchorage opera does "Barber of Seville."
