- A lovely trip to the archives in which I could revel in reading and taking pictures of materials all day long, and at the end of the day get something to eat and not cook or clean or do any of the other housekeeping stuff I've been doing all year. It felt like a vacation, though I was working hard every day. More archival trips, please!
- Winter is receding, sort of, and has settled down into a grey skies, grumpy rain, and chilly wind pattern that beats the heck out of the ice, snow, and general misery we've had since November. Some day the sun will shine again, I'm almost sure. As a special added bonus, apparently the weather cleared up here while we had an epic snowstorm in Archive City.
- About the sabbatical: so many ideas, and so little time!
- I've gotten so tired of seeing "woke" as an admiring descriptor that I silently correct it to the overused slang of another era, "peachy-keen" (1950s) and "bitchin'" (1960s) being two current favorites, though maybe I should give "swell" (1920s) or "gnarly" (1970s?) a try as a change of pace.
- Big collaborative project is going well.
What's new with you?

Yay for archive-vacation!
Oh how I want a sabbatical!
It's April, so things are busy, but I'm counting down the days to summer. :)
Nifty! Rad? Copacetic?
Tubular!
Reading this made me smile because I was reminded of a grad school labmate/friend who used to unironically use "groovy!" as a term of approval. (This was in the mid to late 1990s).
