12/16: an early email
...from a colleague whom I haven't met in person but whose ceramics I admired in the campus window gallery this semester. I wrote to him last night to let him know how much I liked them, and he wrote me a very nice thank-you this morning.
12/15: slide by slide
When writing the directions for the Vergil students' recorded PowerPoint presentations, I gave them a slide-by-slide checklist of what they needed to include. I think it helped them stay on track (no wondering on their part what I would/wouldn't expect), and it's helped me as I'm grading them.
12/13: enjoying
...a cold-weather walk and thinking about good things that were part of 2025. The year has held a lot of difficult and disturbing things, and it felt important to try to formulate a list of 10 good things that happened.
12/12: changing
...a framing box in a pamphlet to 2 horizontal lines, one running across the top and the other across the bottom. The switch seems to let the pamphlet breathe.
12/10: a mouse button
...made and gifted to me by a Latin student who remembered that I like Codrington's Mus Rusticus version of the Aesopian fable.
12/9: pink
...in the sky and on the water as I drove home. The calm of it was welcome, since my school day ended pretty badly.
