Summah-tiime...

It is now officially summer. The grading is over, I ate cotton candy yesterday, and I woke up with my first mosquito bite. Time to shift gears...

I'm working on a book review, I have two chapters to revise, and I need to get the strewn papers and finals out of my apartment and into my office because D will be making a visit this weekend. (Yay!)

So far the book is pretty good; it's a well-written biography with a handsome young 1920s lawyer on the cover. He's wearing a hat and suit and has that clear-eyed look you don't see much these days, but which seemed so common in that era. It's hard to describe -- it's a sort of calm competence that says "I can change the world, if I only put my mind to it."

I need to get me some of that.
