I'm not sure what was in me today, but I felt like I was in a funk. Do you know where that term comes from? I learned the story a few years ago while on a field trip with my students to Cantigny. Sometimes soldiers would dig holes from the side of a trench to protect themselves from weather. They would huddle in these holes called a funk. Get it? In a funk.
