I slid into Friday evening not knowing if I was coming or going. I have piles of materials needing to be graded, flashbacks to meetings that need considerable consideration, and reflection of another week with K-12 schools and the realities of teaching in higher education. I'm shaking my head. I have no answers. I am just thankful that another semester ends during #VerseLove so I can process my daily thoughts poetically.
Today is Saturday, the forecast says rain, rain, and rain. My grass is up to my knees and I need to mow, but it's been so cold and my allergies are at an all time high. A prompt to think about my younger days was welcome. I'd much rather spend my time playing with language than trying to figure out the social ills of being human. I will say, however, that a highlight of the week was getting my hair cut at Fade Factory and listening to the debate about life on other planets. Such a short time in a barber shop, but the language exchange was fascinating and moving. I really believe that we should record all dialogue in the barber shop. Talk about enlightening.
