As i write, my women’s history students are taking their open-book final exam. Summer school is at last at an end, and we’ve got a month until the fall semester begins. I’m happy — this was the best crop of students I’ve had in many a summer session, and the quality of the work they did has been really inspiring.
My wife and I are off to the Bay Area for a weekend with family; I’m doing the San Francisco Marathon on Sunday. All my hopes of running a fast time have long since left me, but I did get some quality long runs in that ought to enable me to finish without collapsing in a world of hurt.
I’ll be back to posting on Tuesday the 31st.
Good luck with the marathon!
Bon voyage, et bon chance. If the weather in Santa Cruz is representative and holds, it should be a gorgeous Sunday in The City.
Have fun! I will be to the north of you, staying far away from SF and all the marathon-related traffic.
Hope the marathon went well! My roommate here in Humboldt participated as well.
