I hope everyone had a fabulous summer, completely devoid of melanoma, heat-stroke, and mosquitoes. By those (and other) criteria, mine was a proper blast. Let's hear it for my parents and for all those summer birthdays that make the whole season a veritable parade of cakes!
Ah, but now we're back and that giant calendar I patchworked to the bedroom wall reminds me that December (and its deadlines) is Just Around The Corner. It's cool - I didn't slack off or anything. Finished a promised paper, been doing some reviews, for funsies, and chugging away at the translation of Alanna. And of course, the resettling period is always nice for all those little domestic chores that suddenly present themselves after you've been away. I just now reinforced the hangin' holes in our shower curtain - and yes I did wound myself in the process, thank you.
Oh no! Alert the authorities! TETANUS! |
One last weekend away for a Wagnerian opera at a remarkably well-preserved amphitheater with
Husbee's family (and yes, we've got our cushions packed - just like
those crazy cushion-toting Ancients) before kicking ourselves back into
high gear for the new academic year.
And guys, this is important. Who wants to learn English by hypnosis?
Happy Fall!
