An Intense Weather Moment
Teaching at home means there is a window to my left. When the students are doing work, I briefly peer out to see what is going on in my neighbourhood. I also keep a lookout for the mailman since I … Continue reading

What I Haven’t Done
While we all have been staying at home, many of us have found time to do things we did not have the time to do before–though I suspect we had the time, we probably wanted to use in on something … Continue reading
