On campus it was natural when things were sort of quiet to … hop on the blog.   From home I’m drawn to things like the dishes (which is odd; I’m not drawn to cleaning my *office* with down time)… I’m doing things that don’t highlight my strengths, shall we say: managing information.   I’m the one […]
