  • So instead of a SyFy Original Move where Virginia falls into the sun, we get THIS: http://tinyurl.com/29pyxtz. I liked my idea better. #
  • Lookee at all these unanswered emails. #
  • Back to the Society of Classical Learning this morning. #
  • Working in middle-grade writing program at Swem. Nice and quiet here. Everyone gone for the summer except for me and bored student at desk. #

  • Driving home: when you live in cornfields, vast open spaces become full-grown forests within weeks. Strange sudden limiting of view… #
  • Two kids in the air today: one on the way to music camp in NYC, the other on the Sydney to LAX leg of his trip home. I may need chocolate. #

    Another unlurker, here.

    I am only wondering what would happen if a young person flying fron Sydney to LAX with some iocane powder in his luggage hit turbulence and crash landed on a strange island full of polar bears and pockets of magnetism…
