I need more days like this July 8, 2011

It’s Friday. I hope it will be the first of many this term when I can work at home. I persisted through the revisions of a paper all day. I did allow myself a morning coffee and banana and coconut bread this morning downtown. But then I came home and got stuck in and forced […]

That all sounds very grand…. April 30, 2011
