Man, what a day! It’s been absolutely insane. I’ll get into details later. Suffice it to say that people got settled into classes and then decided, “Hey, know what? I need some technical help.” I finally took a break this evening to catch up on the news of Katrina. It breaks my heart. My difficulties…

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…

My wireless ethernet bridge is wonky and for some reason, it’s only affecting Blogger sites–ack. So I came up to the other office where there’s a wired connection. Voila, everything is fine. I hate being cut off, though. Bleh. Today we have to make a little more progress on our syllabus. I’d like to finish…

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,…
