Three Beautiful Things 12/02/07: Dancin' Fool, Secure, Student Writing Pleasure

1. Man do I love Spirit's early 1970's song "Mr. Skin" off their album "The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus". Today it made me dance. In my office at home. Alone. With joy. And as much abandon as my old body will let me express.

2. I live in a sturdy, unremarkable 1940's bungalow near downtown Eugene and with winds gusting, knocking down trees, falling electrical wires around town, I was comforted to live in such a solid house.

3. My students' papers on Louise Steinman's The Souvenir helped me understand the book more fully and deeply, an immeasurable pleasure.
