I was much more disciplined this year at SBL and stuck to only purchasing the books on my list. My pocketbook is thanking me right now. These are the elect that made the cut. #aarsbl25

I love the Boston Public Library’s Central Library in the heart of downtown. The motto of the library is “Free to All.” The library is beautiful, I especially love the well known Bates Hall. (1/2)

I'm getting excited about SBL next week in Boston! Looking forward to seeing good friends from all over the world, some great book panels and papers, and intellectual refreshment that I'm sure will spur on my own thinking, research, and writing!

Debussy in the ears, a grey cloudy day outside, inside my favorite coffee shop, enjoying good coffee and an excellent breakfast sandwich, reading, thinking, and writing a chapter for a festschrift. Today, life is good.

I treated myself to a fun volume today. Though I already have the digital copy, I wanted a hardcopy to read for fun and to support my local bookstore.

Most people do not have a clue about the raw amount of mental and thus physical energy it takes to effectively run the absolute whirlwind that it is a high school classroom, every period, every day.

As I finish grading my students' first exams, I’m saddened when I have to put in Fs, but I’ll give them a chance to make edits & get partial credit back. But when students get a 100%, you know I’m yelling "YESSS! LET'S GOOO!" while fist pumping in the air! LOL! I’m pumped when students succeed.
