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

<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s enough. Busy week ahead. Find a place to live.
\nRevise and circulate the diss prospectus (set a date for another goal-line
\ndefensive stand). Cap the "church league" regular season with a showdown
\nagainst Northwestern. Draft some CCCC ’08 proposalificence for collective
\ntuning. Conference with 205ers. Settle home-again travel arrangements from
\nC&W next month (trains out of Motown?). Post notes on Pemberton’s "Modeling."
\nPut in for fall teaching preference. And then on Tuesday….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
