catching up

Am back from the conference and catching up with everything there is to do in this last week of the semester. It’s a sprint from now until grades are due, with the added stress of the holidays. Still, I can’t help but like the Christmas season even though we have yet to see a flake of snow (Colorado, on the other hand, has had several good storms. Dammit.). Thank you Global Warming, which I think of as a large man who sits almost right on top of an electric heater in a dingy apartment not unlike those from the BBC series, How Clean is Your House? (The answer, invariably, is that it is a sty). So we all gasp for breath here and there, keep reading papers as soon as they come to us, fill out forms and make it to as many meetings as we possibly can.
