3/29: success & ease

I suggested to the other ancient language teachers at school that we run a series of afternoon talks this year focusing on passages in our respective languages (Latin, Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew), gearing our remarks toward an audience that couldn't necessarily read those languages. They were game, but also a little skeptical of the idea and worried that it might not appeal to people. Today we had our third session, and the audience has gotten bigger every time. The first one had 20-some people, the second 30-some, and today's talk 40-some. It's nice to be right about something so sweet.

And since it was a long and busy day at work, and I was grateful, glad, and relieved that we had leftovers waiting for us at home. No dinner to prepare: we just needed to heat up the very tasty food that we made yesterday.
