Teaching begins tomorrow–late start class, which means 3 solid hours rather than 2.75. I’ve failed to take into consideration the Tuesday evening doldrums, which are always a precursor to the Wednesday yawns, which lead into the Thursday stretch. Hopefully, I’ll be up for it tomorrow night. Tonight was spent photocopying and paper-shuffling and 5 minutes of mental visualization. 2.5 minutes, probably…

I continue to read The Plot Against America and think reassuring thoughts as I’m alternately impressed w/the writing and freaked out by the plot, as it were. (“As it were” was said in my slippers and smoking jacket, with a pipe in my mouth and a slightly affected British accent. Thank you…)

Finally, I would like to declare the following: Based on what the scale says when I go into my bathroom after I get off the computer, I will either have a mighty large bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce or a modest bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. Either way, vanilla ice cream/choc sauce is gonna happen tonight… Good night…

#83 (Yesterday was #82, though I forgot to number it. Still haven’t missed a day yet…)
