New term begins

About to head out to park and ride to catch a bus to the university, day one of my spring term class. Full with a waiting list, as usual, so the first point of business is figuring out who is in, who can get in, and who can't.

I'm ready for a new term, actually, even though I don't feel like I had a term break at all. But teaching is my front burner activity in my old age, it appears. It's the major organizing principle of my week. Onward.
