4/30: making

...rice pancakes for lunch.  It had been too long since we'd had them, and they were as wonderful as always.

4/29: hearing

...my Greek students say a line of Sappho's poetry out loud all together--and the rhythm came through.

4/28: doing an activity

...with the Myth students, which involved them chalking passages from our ancient texts on the sidewalk on campus.  It was a nice way to spend our last class session, taking myth from our classroom out into the world.

4/27: doing an activity

...with the Greek students, using an Aesopian fable about a weasel who gets turned into a human maiden.

4/26: fixing

...some trouble with my work computer's audio playback on my own.  Or at least it seems I fixed it!  I'll keep my fingers crossed that the fix sticks.

4/25: better

...upon waking than I was when I went to sleep.  Still with sinus trouble, but without the hot-cold-hot-cold feelings of illness.

4/24: some grading

...this afternoon went more quickly than I thought it would.  I'm feeling very under-the-weather, so this was an especially welcome thing.

4/23: the particular orange

...of California poppies.  Chris planted some in a large (large!) flowerpot, and several of them are blooming.
