Ser<\/i>endipitous text day, today.  Started yesterday actually, when one of
\nthe cohort at SU distributed an email to the grad list asking if anyone was
\ninterested in a scattershot of duplicate journals she had–JAC<\/i>,
\nComposition Studies<\/i>, Business something or another<\/i>, CCC<\/i>. 
\nExcess copies of a smattering of non-sequential, eight-year-old journals. 
\nI clicked on reply, politely accepted the copies of JAC<\/i> and
\nComposition Studies<\/i>.  Already had the copies of CCC<\/i> (maybe), and
\ndecided the business items wouldn’t get any time because my reading list has
\ngrown immensely in these four months.  I ‘d swear the heap of reading grows
\nby four books every day and reduces only by a chapter or two–the pattern of my
\nlow-effort break, anyway.<\/p>\n

I lumbered up to the office for some pre-term PDFing around noon today,
\ngrabbed the journals from my mail slot in the lounge, and set to leafing through
\nthe tables of contents.  First pick: JAC<\/i> 17.1 1997.  A couple
\nof interesting finds, but most notable was a review of JoAnn Cambell’s edit of
\nGertrude Buck’s work, Toward a Feminist Rhetoric: The Writing of Gertrude
\nBuck<\/i>. What. have. we. here?  See, I just signed up to give an overview
\nof Campbell’s book on Buck for CCR611.  Actually, the bit will cover the
\nhistoriographic method employed by Campbell.  Picked it from a generous
\nlist of histories of comp; grabbed up this text even though I read it late in
\nthe last century (spring of ’99) for EN555M, a seminar in feminist composition
\nhistory.  The review, by Virginia Allen, introduces several sharp bits on
\n"excavating our disciplinary roots."  Allen’s review is duly generous to
\nboth Campbell and Buck; jogged my memory, too, about Buck’s vexing "organic
\nscientism"–tendencies to lever metaphors of nature and evolution (growth?)
\nagainst the logics of biological and human sciences.  No need to go farther
\nwith this just yet, and, of course, I’ve said very little about Campbell’s
\nmethod, so that remains–among many other busy-makers–for the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ph. wrapped up the ELA testing at school today.  Stands for something
\nlike English Language Assessment, I think.  Basically, it’s the New York
\nbattery for assessing reading comprehension and writing proficiency among the
\nstate’s eighth graders.  Typically, Ph. is resilient when treated to school
\npressures, but before setting out on Tuesday, he expressed nervousness, mentioning that the teachers have kept saying over and over how important the test was. 
\nNo surprise.  The local TV news even ran a report on Monday night urging
\nparents to make sure their eighth graders went to school on Tuesday. 
\nInterview with a local school administrator: "If your eighth grade student goes
\nto school only two days this year, Tuesday and Wednesday should be those days." 
\nReported (with images of a shiny glassed-in showcase filled with CD alarm clock
\nradios and televisions) that the students had been enticed to prepare for the
\nlanguage test with raffle tickets in recent weeks. 
\nNotably the exam fails to invoke any of the intelligences led on by
\nthe poor odds of winning cheap electronic gadgets.<\/p>\n

But that’s not what I meant to write about.  I wanted to say something about the Spanish-English dictionary…my<\/i> Spanish-English dictionary from ninth grade–a cheap, plastic-backed edition, pocket sized.  Ph. had been using it for Spanish class.  Before break, he took the small book to school where, well, it disappeared.  No trace.  I fussed and fumed, a mundane parental ritual over stuff that gets lost without explanation.  "Better find it!" (or something nearly as serious).   So today, two weeks past
\nthe formal infraction and processional of loud-voiced how-could-yous, Ph. said
\nhe was walking past an open, unattended locker and there, among the clutter at
\nthe bottom, was the dictionary.  Aqui!
\n<\/i> Rather than latch on to it, he continued to class, set his books down,
\nand returned to the locker where, now, the girl whose locker kept the book, now
\nstood, readying for her next class.  Ph. took the book, kindly explained
\nthat the book was his.  How do you know?  "It’s got my dad’s name on it."  And so he made away with the lost book, now found. <\/p>\n

I asked about the signature.  "My name was on the book?," I said. "How’s that?"  Ph.: I wrote it there. <\/i> Good thinking: my name, in scribbled pencil, there, on the rough top edge of the pages. Buen provecho.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
