What to Write About?

I haven't been posting much--not sure what to write about. I sit and read Jeremias Gotthelf all morning. Then after lunch I either read a little more Gotthelf or work on my online classes. Late afternoon, weather permitting, I go out and mow the yard or pull out weeds and giant thorny shrubs. And in the evening its posting to the forum for an online class, or grading some exams, or reading a bit more. Not a lot of variety! Which is fine with me, but not very interesting to write about.

I suppose I could comment on public affairs. There might be a few things going on these days, like a country exploding in insanity. But that is less interesting than Gotthelf, frankly.

We did have a slight diversion this afternoon when a fellow showed up to replace the windshield on our minivan. Right about the time we went on lockdown, a truck kicked up a rock that put a crack in the windshield. I was trying to avoid unnecessary contacts, and I was hardly driving at all anyway, so I hadn't done anything about it yet. But it had grown, and it was time. So Allstate sent someone to our house, and it was out with the old windshield, in with the new. Not bad. That doesn't happen every day, fortunately.

A Warning Against Drink

I have gotten several things read over the last few days, but I keep forgetting to post any of it. Some more Gotthelf, but also a couple of other things. I'll try to break them up in order to get a few more posts out of them! Last Friday I finished another Gotthelf novella, Wie fünf Mädchen im Branntwein jämmerlich umkommen . That title does not translate very well into English, or at least I don't think so. Something like, How Five Young Women Perish Miserably Due to Brandy (or literally "in brandy"). It is an early work of Gotthelf's and a piece of social criticism. When Gotthelf was writing (1838), the canton of Bern had recently liberalized its system for granting licenses to operate a pub. At the same time, new methods of producing cheap brandy from different sources, including even the ubiquitous potato, were developed. As a consequence, inns and pubs sprang up throughout the countryside, creating a new temptation for poor...

Summer Vacation

Let the summer begin! I finally finished off my grading yesterday. Now the summer opens up before me. Well, not exactly. I do have a few random independent study papers hiding in my inbox, which has been overflowing for the past week. But I can get them taken care of. And a handful of students still owe me late work, which will come in over the next few days. I'm also teaching a couple of online courses; the first exams from one of those come in next Monday. At noon today I have a committee meeting, a group pulled together to work on curricular planning for next fall in the face of continuing uncertainty. And this afternoon all faculty have to attend the first of several Zoom sessions devoted to online teaching, to help us prepare for all eventualities moving forward. Hmmm.... And oh, yes, I just remembered -- rats! -- that today is the deadline for reviewing the department's catalog copy for next year. There is also that long o...
