First Day of the Fall Semester

OK. It's nearly 8:30 a.m., and I still have to copy and staple the syllabus and calendar. That's ok. My house is looking good these days. I'm definitely ready for the autumn semester, and -- wouldn't you know it! -- the air this morning feels decidedly autumnal! I slept without the a/c last night, breeze blowing soft across the foot of my bed.
The cat came in, complained about his empty food dish and then, after I filled it, ate two bites and wanted out again. I don't blame him. Great morning! My moonflower has nearly 20 blossoms in various stages of getting-ready-to-bloom.
I haven't read The New York Times or the Washington Post yet this morning, so this is a poor example for my students.
But I'll get there.
Now, have to complete my preparations for class.
More later.
