Grating

It chills me to spend Easter Sunday–any Sunday in April for that
matter–bundled indoors away from the snow and cold. But that’s what I’ve
done today. To pass the time, I sat and read/wrote/graded projects (annotated
bibs plus) and book reviews from 205ers. Not altogether unpleasant
(waves of impressive stuff, in fact), but I probably should take more frequent
breaks. Walk away. Breathe deeply. Remember that a semester
relative to Time Eternal is comparable to one hundredth of the time it takes to
flick a light switch. On/Off?

Anyway, that’s enough. Busy week ahead. Find a place to live.
Revise and circulate the diss prospectus (set a date for another goal-line
defensive stand). Cap the "church league" regular season with a showdown
against Northwestern. Draft some CCCC ’08 proposalificence for collective
tuning. Conference with 205ers. Settle home-again travel arrangements from
C&W next month (trains out of Motown?). Post notes on Pemberton’s "Modeling."
Put in for fall teaching preference. And then on Tuesday….
