vanessa says i should post

And well I should. It's hard to update from Putney, however, because when I'm not teaching I'm lesson planning and when I'm not lesson planning I'm writing evaluations and when I'm not writing evaluations I'm staffing a contradance and when I'm not staffing a contradance I'm playing badminton and when I'm not playing badminton I'm paddling around in swimming holes and when I'm not paddling around in swimming holes I'm watching odd animations and when I'm not watching odd animations I'm getting my students' anthology ready and when I'm not getting my students' anthology ready I'm hiking in the woods and when I'm not hiking in the woods I'm drinking coffee at the co-op and when I'm not drinking coffee at the co-op I'm spraining my wrist playing volleyball and when I'm not playing volleyball I'm demonstrating flamenco dances and when I'm not demonstrating flamenco dances I'm demonstrating castanets and when I'm not demonstrating castanets I'm reading at faculty performances and when I'm not reading at faculty performances I'm watching fireflies and when I'm not watching fireflies I'm eating barbecue from a schoolbus and when I'm not eating barbecue from a schoolbus I'm doing Nathanial Katz yoga and when I'm not doing Nathanial Katz yoga I'm taking pictures of the mountains and when I'm not taking pictures of the mountains I'm petting the newborn calves and when I'm not petting the newborn calves I'm having arguments about genre fiction and when I'm not having arguments about genre fiction I'm making accordion books and when I'm not making accordion books I'm singing tumbala laika and when I'm not singing tumbala laika I'm on the phone with the darling loving giving friends who are helping move my earthly belongings cross country and when I'm not on the phone with the darling loving giving friends I'm weeding and when I'm not weeding I'm applying for jobs and when I'm not applying for jobs I'm trying to get into the ceramics studio and when I'm not trying to get into the ceramics studio I'm driving to Montpelier to eat strawberries with old friends and when I'm not eating strawberries I'm writing letters and when I'm not writing letters, and these are slender moments, I'm reading. So there you have it.

But I'll try to post some writings I've done, some little writings, and some entertaining little things to watch. Here's one. Warning, it's disturbing, highly but I find it incredibly beautiful:
