Is.'s school put on an MLK Jr. concert on Friday afternoon. I hadn't planned to video-record it, but when I learned her class was doing just one song, I captured it with the smartphone. If the circle is a clock face and the teacher is in the 6 o'clock position, Is. is in a light blue dress around 1 o'clock.
Afterward, I caught a meeting/collaborative writing session at which I heard about others' Friday the 13th woes and left feeling fortunate.
Fortunate, that is, until I got to Is.'s school again to pick her up and scored a flat tire in the school parking lot. Approaching dusk. Steady snow. Due to D.'s school in fifteen minutes. Happy Friday the 13th to you, too. Wind and the rain, in his hands....

Another blogday. Now eight.

I'm tempted to write something reminiscent and festive, but if I do I will be late to DTW. Should've left five minutes ago!

To celebrate, there were pumpkin chocolate chip muffins last night.

Rolls

Building on yesterday's remarks, another scene. Another ride around the store. Another checkout line discard. Where are the King's Hawaiian dinner rolls in Canton's Super Walmart?, you wonder. I don't know about the rest of them, but you'll find one package at register fifteen, just below the gift cards.

The Part About

Welcome to Earth Wide Moth. I'm Derek Mueller, Assistant Professor of Written Communication in the Department of English Language and Literature at Eastern Michigan University. Generally, my teaching and research concerns writing, rhetoric, and technology. More specifically, I'm energized by questions concerning new media and networked digital writing activity, mapping and geographies, visual modeling methods, network studies, and theories of composing. In addition to this blog, which occasionally blurs the boundaries commonly thought to separate personal and professional interests, I make use of Delicious, Flickr, Twitter, etc. Send email to dereknmueller at gmail dot com.
