While choristers warble

Most of them are doing pretty well — I’m listening to the Easter service from St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle — now that I have the mini-speakers hooked up to my laptop again, I can hear the full <whummmmp> of the lowest registers on the pipe-organ. Very nice.
My students were warbling a bit today as well — some about wanting class outside, some about whether I liked their latest batch of papers, and some about how they’d just as soon do some simpler project than the one I’m making them do next.
Honestly, the ground isn’t right yet for class outside, and I needed to use the projector during this session. But later, I might be persusaded.
It’s not fair for a rhetorician to always refuse to be persuaded, and I like a warm spring day as much as the next sun-starved human being.
But could we wait for the damned Bradford pear trees to stop polluting the air?
