............................................ ............................................ A blog devoted to the ramblings of a small town, middle aged college professor as he experiences life and all its strange variances.
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.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
So long ago, but it is also like yesterday in your memory banks.
ReplyDeleteThe memories are sweet--perhaps they can carry you through.
ReplyDeleteWishing you great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Professor...
ReplyDeleteNew rituals of joy can always be recreated and cultivated. Allow time for joy, sir.
