With classes winding down I have less prep to do tonight than I have all semester. With classes winding down, however, I have more grading to do than any mortal man or woman should be asked to deal with.
Late in every semester I make the mistake of counting up how many things there are left to grade. At the start of this week I had 197 things ahead of me. Forty-eight of those things are extremely time-sensitive, so guess what I’ve been doing!
Guess who has been no help! Phoebe has taken over the remote control. It’s birds and aquariums from here on in.

Poseidon, for his part, is just sitting on papers because you don’t need all the papers to get your work done. And that’s true enough.

The kitties are doing great. They just need more pets and treats.

I’m still living in the happy memories of our wonderful Irish vacation. So, I’m sharing extra videos that we didn’t get to at the time. It was a great vacation. I have a lot of footage. This will go on for some time. Enjoy it with me, won’t you?
This footage comes from the amazing, beautiful, Downpatrick Head.
