And...we're back. A few vignettes from the last week:
University Diaries

June 30, 2007
A vain man struggles with the threat to his self-importance that student evaluations represent.
The Education of Oronte Churm
How We Become Men
June 30, 2007
We’ll be traveling for a few days, and I expect my posts to be intermittent next week, so here’s a long tale about how we’re educated into responsibility.

Sarko and 'Sixty-Eight
June 27, 2007
The Greek government has once again given up efforts to prod that country'sdead university system to life - violent street protests last summerfrightened off political reformers -- but France's aggressive new leader,Nicholas Sarkozy, is giving it the old college try.

The Unlikelihood of Fathers
June 26, 2007
I didn’t grow up with a father, so my two sons have exactly as much experience with actual fatherhood as I do. What we’ve learned together is that fathers are mercurial, full of farts and orders, radiant with heat on a summer’s night already too hot for sleep.

Blog Birthday Bits
June 22, 2007
Today is the third birthday of the blog. To celebrate (okay, not really, but a segue is a segue), I'll be taking next week off. The family is piling into our trusty compact and trundling off to a vacation spot you've heard of for several days. No internet, no office politics, no fluorescent lighting. If all goes well, by the end of next week, my brain will be starting to snap back to its original shape. At this point, the prospect of a week without purchase requisitions is a source of actual joy.

Waking The Boy
June 21, 2007
Although he gets a solid twelve hours a night (!), on some school mornings, TB really, really doesn't want to wake up. As the school year is winding to a close, it's getting worse.We've had to resort to drastic measures.Last week, when more traditional measures had failed, I resorted to the following, of which I am not proud:“Get up or I'll start singing Anne Murray songs, and nobody wants that!”(nothing)(In my best Peter-Brady-voice-changing delivery) “SPREAD YOUR TINY WINGS AND FLY AWAY...”(TB grunts, chuckles, and climbs out of bed.)
