I stayed up fairly late last night not working on many of the tasks listed below, but blogging. My schedule of events was interrupted by helping Geeky Boy clean out the hamster cages and by the time I could settle in in front of the computer, my brain just was not in good shape to…

The multimedia program that I run in the summer begins next week. I’m finalizing arrangements, syllabi, software. I’ve been relatively organized but I put off some things that I shouldn’t have.

Today’s installment of the NY Times series on class concerns marrying into a different class and the problems that causes.
