What Song Was That?
After my online teaching day was over, I decided to go out for a socially distanced walk. It was raining a little and it was easy to stay the requested distance away from the very few people who were also … Continue reading

An Oasis
I watched the movie Midnight in Paris the other day and in it, the main character was explaining to his fiancée that Paris looked better in the rain. Perhaps he had seen too many prints of Delacroix. I enjoyed the … Continue reading

Laughing at Oneself
Sometimes you have to laugh when the joke is on you. In fact, maybe it is the most important time to laugh. Maybe. This is what I was thinking when the universe played a joke on me Wednesday evening. You … Continue reading
