the semester's going fast; I'm loaded up with work; the kids' birthday is fast approaching; and the spammers have figured a way past the CAPTCHA.

I'm taking a break from the blog for a bit...I'll be back in a bit, though I hope to stop by other blogs in the 'sphere.

But before I go, one last little story...yesterday, I taught "THe Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," one of my favorite poems and one of my favorite lessons...we talked about modernist anxiety, and the ways that it is connected to masculinity, communication, the possibility of action, the possibility of meaning, etc... When I return to my office, a flyer awaits me...

"Feeling Anxious or Nervous?"

Maybe Prufrock needed the counseling center...
