7/8: finishing
...the publication of the individual poems in the Visual Poetry in Black & White series at Heron Tree. I enjoyed working on this project, and I like how each of the poems in the series inhabits the page differently, shows something else about how the look of a poem can communicate.
7/7: wind on the water
...while kayaking. It made it a fun challenge going out, and I appreciated the extra push helping me back.
7/6: thinking about manuscripts
Today I wrote up some advice about reading Latin & Greek manuscripts for some of my students--it's been something I've been meaning to do, and I'm glad it's now done.
I also found an online digitization of a manuscript (in Greek) of Aesop's fables now at the New York Public Library. I may use it in my Greek class this fall.

7/5: in a day
While I was kayaking last night I had part of an idea for a new pamphlet. This morning I got working on it, and this afternoon I finalized the formatting and content. I'm grateful to the now-defunct "24 hour zine thing" for giving me a push and confidence back in 2009. I'd made a few booklets before that, but I think the "zine thing" made me feel like there are other people out there doing their own similar things and even if we didn't know one another we were still somehow a community.
7/4: getting out
...onto the water. I haven't been kayaking much in the past ten days because of heat advisories and storm warnings, but I managed to head out this evening. And I'm glad I did; I was getting a little stir-crazy at home, and the walking track was closed for the 4th of July holiday. This green of the reflected trees near the shore-line makes it look cooler than it was, but it was still a really pleasant way to spend the last hour and a half of light in the day.
7/2: making a list
...the night before of things I wanted to get done in the day, and then getting most of them done before lunch.
7/1: appreciating Phineas
It's coming up on a year since we brought Phineas home. He's definitely cat-sized rather than kitten-sized now, but there's still a kittenish spirit about him. And I love that he loves to cuddle as we're watching TV.
