A Tardy Happy New Year!

My excuse is I've been grading. Well, I've been putting off grading to get some writing finished first. So I've been not writing, writing a little, writing stuff I really hate, wondering what ever made me think this paper ever would or could or should be written when it is dull, dull, dull and, once in a while, writing a pretty good paragraph or two. But it's not done yet and I really do have to get these festering exams out of here by the end of the week. Meanwhile the Christmas decorations are still up, neither of the toilets is working right and the drainage from the washing machine backs up into the shower. Happy 2008!
