I finished teaching for the semester on Friday and am still catching up on sleep, so I'm going to call it quits early tonight and get to bed.
Buddy took this picture-- unfiltered-- as the sun rose on Monday morning a week ago. Let's hope this week begins as well.
See you tomorrow, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (I hope!).

I'm always happy when you don't write a 'real' posting, not because I don't want to read your wonderful words, but because it's a reminder to all of us to keep that balance in our lives.
I frankly do not know how you do it. Being a former academic myself (PhD in Comparative Medieval Literature from Columbia University) I cannot fathom the energy and intelligence you bring to us daily in addition to your full teaching load. . And yes, rest tonight with our thanks that you have not ceased in your good letters after the first 100 days of the Biden Administration. I support you and I thank you and I value you.
