I wandered lonely as a cloud

[kayselkiemoon]

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
-- William Wordsworth, "Daffodils", 1804I am looking forward to the coming of spring. I love check for changes each day in the garden, and watch bulbs send green shoots

Hey, I'm also very happy for the end of February to come. It is unbelievably freezing here. Not that I'd get much sympathy from you on that point :) I do not want to think about how cold it is up north.

Which is why I think you should visit me, instead of the other way around! Whenever you have time, of course. I, being without a job right now, have time anytime.

I don't really know about notes in margins; I never really did that until college, I guess because it always seemed like misbehaving, and I never did that when I was young :) But you can do notes on the Kindle, or highlights. Not drawings. But maybe ipads or their descendants can, I don't know. The point is that technology is moving so fast that you never know what they'll make possible.

I would love to visit you. There may not be a good time for me before my semester ends on May 7, simply because at present I am still working to learn how to balance my workload throughout the week so that I don't end up slammed up against deadlines. I got really lazy in my habits when I didn't have to get anything done (in a concrete fashion) during the hours of the day I wasn't at work. Now that I have deadlines for getting readings, discussion board work and things like papers accomplished, I need to straighten out!

That makes sense. It's hard to force yourself to get into a grind all of a sudden. I need to do it with job-hunting :)

I need to do it with job-hunting

You have my sympathies. Job hunting is so easy to want to put off because it so stressful/depressing.

On a side note, I'm sitting here listening to the Old Blind Dog's latest cd, which came out last September. Have you heard it?

No -- I'll definitely have to check it out! How do they sound without Jim Malcolm?
