More grading today. But I’ve made good progress on this batch of grading and feedback-ing. So many words to write, and metaphors upon which to expand.
I stopped for two things. First, a quick 25-mile ride this afternoon. Nothing like 90 breathless to reinvigorate you to come back, sit down, and sound knowledgeable about the topics at hand.
The other thing I did today was actually something that we did tonight. We went across the river.
Eddie Izzard was in town, touring on a 35-year career, playing some of the hits. We watched a lot of Izzard in the oughts and early teens, so it was fun to see some of the old bits.
This classic bit made the cut tonight.
We heard the Romans, Carthaginians and elephants story. The woman sitting next to me repeated parts of it word for word, which was cute.
And Izzard closed with the Death Star canteen, of course.
It was a fun show. We had front row seats on the mezzanine. Not bad for spur-of-the-moment tickets.
And now back to grading!
