1. I kept warm during a hard autumn rain this morning by sitting at Sweet Life and enjoying conversation and coffee with Kirk, who was a student of mine twenty-two years ago. It had been about twenty years since we'd seen each other in person and I enjoyed talking about life, death, cameras, and our often inscrutable world.
2. I had a lot of thinking to do today about my WR 115 course -- and I enjoyed thinking long and hard about how my students would write about happiness and the short film Family Tree and I came up with stuff. I made a plan. My mild anxiety eased.
3. I was grateful for a quiet Halloween. A few kids came to the door, which was fine. One mother and her daughter came in the house and visited with Mme. Diedrich. I didn't hear any firecrackers, fireworks, or pumpkins being smashed in the neighborhood. I was relieved.
