Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
4/20: small world
Chris' department is hiring a one-year replacement for a professor who is going on sabbatical. Chris and I took one of the job candidates out to dinner this evening before dropping her off at the airport. Because I'm not on the search committee, our conversation could be chatty and informal. We talked about where she got her undergraduate degree, and it turns out that she took Ancient Greek at her college and was taught by a dear friend I made during my junior year abroad (way back when). I'm going to drop him a quick email right now.
