      <description>Just up here in the English Department working on my novel.  Slow going.  The semester starts next week, Thursday, and I'll be teaching English 111, Introduction to Academic Writing again.  Teaching composition is like walking through a fog.  You think you know where you're going, and somehow you maybe get to where you wanted to be.  Oh, that sounds like life too!</description>

      <description>laura, it's good to hear from you again, and likewise, I've wondered how you've been.

&lt;p&gt; pedro, I laud your triumphant return to Wisco!  I hope there's snow in Popular (sp. intentional.).  So, the band is recording in poplar?  Here is a website with poplar statistics.

&lt;p&gt;   Well worth anyone's time.  
  
note: BR, what you say about returning home to your the home of your youth is too true.  It's like being caught between places, like being trapped in time, only the people and things you'd expect when you're trapped are all different. 

&lt;p&gt; It's 9am here, and dark as the night. I like to think I start working well before the crack of dawn.  Tschuss!

      <description>Yesterday and the day before I filled up some balloons with water and put them outside for two or three hours where they froze partially.  I brought them in and drained them.  What you get are little hollow, frozen balls, that you can then put a candle in.  I put four or five of them along the walkway up to the house.  They looked nice for a while, until the candles went out.

&lt;p&gt; Sometimes there isn't a lot to do when it's really cold.

      <description>Hey, all, it's been a while!  I'm still hanging up in Alaska, but I'll be down in Wisconsin next fall.  I got into Med school finally, and I'll be going to Madison next August.  I'm up in Fairbanks right now, and it's -30, which is a little brisk. 

&lt;p&gt; It's good reading through the entries... Sorry I haven't been around for a while.  Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
