Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I played against the computer. It's fine. It's basically Scrabble.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So the prediction today was for 3-5 inches of snow, and local schools canceled, but the university didn't. So, I drove to campus around 11. Then my students start emailing me, telling me that their other professors (they're in a cohort who all take the same classes) have moved their classes online today, and wanting to know if I'll do the same. Five of the seventeen say that they're not going to come to campus just for one class in this weather. So, I send out a message saying I'm also moving my class online, and then I have to drive back home, because my iPad (which I need to write on for teaching online) was at home.

Back home now, got the iPad set up for class, and annoyed that I just wasted all that time going to campus. If the other professors had told me they were moving their classes online, I would have planned better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aggravating, Hil

I have not tried the new NYT thing, I was just assuming it was more or less a version of Words with Friends and I already have that?
