I worked from home today. I took a late lunch, during which I met with Myra and Mark for a “Center for Excellence in Curricular Engagement Web Site Brainstorming Session.” We brainstormed about the “rhetorical purposes” of the web site and the general organization of it.

We entered the Disneyworld-like line that consisted, undoubtedly, of churchgoers coming, but with all the … Read more

At 8:10 my phone rang, and it was my exterminating company calling me to tell me that the guy doing my service call was sitting in front of my house. Evidently he had rung the doorbell, but I didn’t hear it, as I was still fast asleep. He was supposed to come between 8:00 and … Read more

Myra drove us to Biltmore where we met Patti … Read more
