  • First weekend in August

    I spent Sunday at Leesburg Outlet and finished most of my Christmas shopping, spending perhaps more than I should have. Thinking I will save a few dollars during the Sales Tax Holiday, I go overboard. I can be so stupid …

  • Random thoughts fully disclosed

    Okay, in the interest of honesty, I must confess. I chickened out. I didn't go to the National Mall. The weather.com forecast and my past experiences told me to stay home and watch TV. Yes, M expressed her, um... disappo…

  • Time out

    A little break from TY and UCLA. You know, I decided not to teach this summer. I could always use the money--especially with a 26 year-old step-son who still can't figure out what to do with his life, so he quits his job…

  • Spring Break--Interim Report

    Yesterday, I mentioned that I had received comments from some people I hadn't heard from in a long time--Tak, the Vixen. I was surprised, to say the least, especially since I don't post as much as I used to. That they wo…

  • Nice to be remembered

    Life is hectic as usual. It is the midle of the semeser, and I am being bombarded by requests for letters of recommendations, even as I try to find time to grade quizzes, read papers and generally try to do the things co…

  • Sleepy Head

    I have a presentation on haiku today, and with the start of school and all, I didn't reallyhave that much time to prepare--we won't mention the fact that i had all summer. In any event, I was up until 4AM getting ready …

  • Check Your Protected Post

    It is much cooler here in the DC area, and I am beginning to feel a bit sluggish. I find that when the seasons change, my body needs more time to adjust... or maybe I just need to lose weight. Anyway, check you prote…

  • Fifteen seconds of fame

    Andy Warhol once said that we all have fifteen minutes of fame. I'm not sure if this means 15 minutes at once or 15 minutes in total, but I figure it is the latter rather than the former. I once spent 4 of my allotted…

  • Still Busy

    As I mentioned earlier, I am not teaching summer school this summer. I am taking a well deserved rest. But that doesn't mean I am not busy. Egads! Since I have all this time, M is like, Well, now you can do the things yo…
