9/8: an hour and a half
...of quiet work in my campus office, after teaching and before a meeting. I drafted the next installment of grammatical commentary on the Book of Ruth.
9/7: stopping by
...the optical shop just to see if my new glasses had come in even though I hadn't gotten a text that they had. They were there--hurray! I really like them.
As if that weren't enough of a good thing, Chris got me a lot of treats when he was in town today: a vintage children's picture dictionary, an old 45, some Mexican baked goods, plus new tires and sparkplugs for my car!
9/6: telling students
...about the blue Aldine Vergil. Here's a link to an image of one copy. I didn't realize that the only other currently known copy is the one I saw when working in the Special Collections department of the UCLA library!
9/4: working
...in a less-harried pace than anticipated today because I finished the draft of my evaluation letter yesterday. That meant that I could have the morning as a "holiday" and turn to schoolwork in the afternoon and evening.
