That’s what we’re discussing in class right now. Ironically, right now, I’ve never felt so much a part of a virtual community as I do now. I am feeling sad for Badger, but heartened by everyone’s expressions of sympathy. I’m with Scrivener that sometimes I wish we weren’t all so far flung. I’d be over…

Today is our anniversary–11 years. It goes to 11! We usually don’t celebrate our anniversary in a big way since it’s almost always right before or right in the middle of the first week of classes. Our wedding was on the Saturday before classes began, and although neither of us was teaching/taking classes that semester,…

We showed them the help…
