winter is here

It arrived this weekend. I was/am ambivalent to its arrival. I spent the whole weekend grading papers and doing other teaching-related stuff. I was in my office all day Saturday, and this was the view:

That's pretty different than the summer view from my desk (taken about 6 months ago):


The semester is starting to wind down, but it's first going to wind UP a lot before it winds down. I won't say more than that. But I'm looking forward to the Christmas break.

To add to the fun, my parents are moving next weekend!

And now another aunt has cancer and, well, cancer really scares me.
