9/20: a good end to the week

A great moment in class when the students' faces and exclamations registered how their view of Aristophanes' Lysistrata shifted upon considering that the original actors would all have been men.

Good office-hour meetings with students.

Time at Quiet Writing spent on my sabbatical proposal.

A wonderful dinner with a friend at a new-to-me restaurant to plan an ekphrastic project.

Some laps at the walking track, marveling at sentences while listening to Out of the Silent Planet.  One passage included a reference to Polyphemus that made me smile a big smile.

A piece of chocolate cheesecake from a whole cheesecake given to me today as a gift.
