Dead Dog Tired

 I have been grading and grading and meeting with students who have a Monday deadline for submitting their research abstracts to an upcoming meeting.  I am exhausted.

I will try to write more this weekend. 

Normally this time of year, I would go and have a few stiff drinks and several pipes with my father-in-law at the end of the day. 

Unfortunately, that was long ago and oh, so far away.  It is a sorely missed ritual of joy.

So long ago, but it is also like yesterday in your memory banks.

The memories are sweet--perhaps they can carry you through.

Professor...

New rituals of joy can always be recreated and cultivated. Allow time for joy, sir.
