I taught The Odyssey from beginning to end (Fagles' translation) for many years, and I'm looking forward to seeing the movie. Odysseus is an ass, but it's a good story. Currently I am at USD with some yearbook students for yearbook camp. They are the sweetest little group of girls, so lowkey and easy, but we are sleeping in dorm rooms with no AC, and the temps are hot and humid — MUCH worse than San Diego's usual temperate breezes and low humidity. DYING already. I was smart and brought a little fan this year, though, so I should be able to sleep. Still. Summer!Kristin isn't a fan of four days of unpaid work even though I know it's going to be worth it.

Also, hi! I pop on and ready from time-to-time but have mostly been lurking. I'll try to catch up later tonight.

Obviously, I understand the two-sides-of-perception thing. I think I'd like to captivate someone without doing very much, but that doesn't happen! Not to me, anyway.

Timelies all!

I had a little incident last night . I was peeling a rather skinny carrot and managed to get my thumb with the peeler. I am a danger to myself once again.

Unpaid work is no fun but especially not without a/c!! Yikes!
