Three things:
- Annette. I encountered the most blatant academic dishonesty of my short career last night and having someone with 20 years in education to talk about it, make sure my reaction wasn’t unfair, etc., made such a huge difference.
- Phil. I’ve known Phil for 20 years. We had lunch yesterday, at an excellent Malaysian place that takes Covid seriously. We spent two hours being appropriately horrified by the world, which is as much comfort as 2020 is going to allow here in the home stretch.
- Poetry. I found out yesterday I’m getting something published in a local journal, and that really makes me want to write more. I love that feeling.
