5/28: switching gears

I got rattled yesterday and the feeling continued into today, so I didn't think I'd be a very productive writer this afternoon.  Instead, I wrote commentary and put together supporting materials for an ancient Latin inscription that's an epitaph for a dog, Margarita (or "Pearl")--and it's even in elegiac couplets.  I liked spending time with the words, and I hope my future Latin students will too.
