Day 331: Recreate
We had a lazy Thanksgiving–just the the five of us and my mother-in-law. We made casseroles and turkey and stuffing and so on. We took a moment before eating to honor my father-in-law. And we took turns sharing with each … Continue reading
Day 330: Dislocate
So I am back in Georgia for the holiday. We are staying about an hour south of Atlanta, with my mother-in-law, but most of today I spent back in Atlanta, taking care of a few details at the old house … Continue reading

Day 313: Peel

Day 274: Reply
I’ve tried to keep up with comments on this blog on a daily basis, but for the past couple of days, I have not taken the time to reply. So tonight, I caught up on those comments–and it got me … Continue reading
Day 251: Arrive
I’m here. The academic job market is a little odd. Ads post in the fall–usually September or October–with deadlines toward the end of the semester, and then invitations for interviews during January and February. And then that’s it, until next … Continue reading
Day 247: Content
Why is “content” more commonly used as an adjective rather than as a verb? Why is it something that I “am,” rather than something that I do? Maybe that seems counter-intuitive, as though I am placing priority on doing over … Continue reading
