Or at least as ready as it's going to get.  I'm printing off handouts as I type this.

And... as always, printing the handouts is the hardest part of the whole process.  Admittedly, some of that may be my fault because I refuse to spend the money to go out and buy a new laser printer, and I also don't get the class done in time to email the handouts to the coordinator-gal so she can copy them and snail-mail them back to me. 

So, every class, I sit here and "discuss" with a laser printer that's older than my eldest son.  The printer itself works fine, but the problem is that the printer isn't quite sure what to do with all this new software that's on the other end of it, so to say it's finicky is putting it mildly. 

Yes, maybe I should go out and get a new printer... but I just put a new printer cartridge in it tonight, and I have two more printer cartrigdes in the cupboard for it (5,000+ pages a cartridge), all of which I got for free, so the concept that I'm basically printing all of these handouts for the price of the paper... makes it really hard to convince myself that it isn't worth the time to sit here (while I can do other useful stuff) and babysit the printer.

Tomorrow is the guinea-pig class.  I hope it goes well.  I always feel kinda sorry for the first time I teach something because I've always got tons of bugs to work out.  But, this is the best of the four colleges I'm teaching at for interested and experienced writers, so I'm looking forward to it.
