Two interesting Op-Eds (the first by Ruth Marcus from last Saturday and the second by George Will today) over on the Washington Post website. They are about Harvard University President Larry Summers’s comments on gender differences, which have raised such a stink in academia.
Honeymoon Planning
Well, Melissa and I went to the Fairfax AAA office on Saturday (before it got all too snowy) to meet with a travel agent and plan our honeymoon.
I’m happy to say that everything is booked, and—while still quite expensive—it’s a lot more affordable than I’d thought it would be.
Wis. Student Sues to End Summer Homework
I’m usually not a fan of frivolous lawsuits, but I have to sympathize with this student and his family (and agree with them in principle, if not in practice). The workload put on students in the public schools these days is unreasonable, and constantly getting worse.
Poetry Reorganization Status Update
Well, I have been working on tackling the poetry reorganization according to my plan. I have made a lot of progress.
I decided that, as is usually best practice in a major reorganization of anything, the first step was to organize and get a handle on what I had. So I brought up the old OSB website, my Website 12 poetry page, and my most recent poetry page. Armed with those three websites, I dove in and started accounting for everything in my poetry folder.
VDOT Drops the Ball
Today, it snowed. We’ve known for at least four days that it was supposed to snow today, and things went almost exactly the way they’d been predicted The only thing that didn’t go exactly as guessed was that the snow started falling around 9:00 a.m., rather than 1:00 p.m., but even that was predicted as of late last night.
