The Bills Are 4-0 and Other Improbabilities

Just surfacing for a moment to note that the novel I'm teaching for the next two weeks in one of my classes--Patricia Grace's Potiki--is highly relevant for thinking through the political situatedness of the PGA event going on 15 minutes from my hometown at the Turning Stone resort complex this week. I did not plan this, but it's pretty neat.

Sounds good. Re the virtual visit to your class (thank you for teaching the book; hope they like it!) A speakerphone would be fine, but we can do something textual. I don't have a webcam set-up. You choose. How about the second half-hour 5-530 pm EST? That's 8-830pm over here, and probably as late as I'm any good these days.

Emile's adventures today? "Oh, I went up the stairs--how hard could it be going down? Hey-ouch!" and "Hm, that fireplace poker looks smoky _and_ delicious!" Actually those were his adventures between noon and 1 pm.

How bout those Bills? The _second_ I give up paying any attention, bang, they start winning. I'm their Jonas. As long as I ignore them, they're great.

Talk soon, M

Hey, Marc! I'll look into the speakerphone option today. Going to try to be good and post my reading notes on each chapter of yours here before my Tuesday class....
