P.S.

Let me just say that I am back from Washington, D.C., I had a lovely time, and I am now wading through all sorts of work that piled up in my absence. There are some very pressing deadlines today—but the flip side of that is that once I’ve made it through today I can breathe again for a bit before classes start up next week. I promise more extended, more thoughtful blog entries soon, perhaps with some travel stories included. Meanwhile, wish me the proper blend of judiciousness and compassion as I determine winter quarter grades.
