RPO!

This week will be a great week, because instead of substitute teaching, I'll be playing Francesca Di Rimini, which was a last minute addition to the Phil Week when the scheduled conductor canceled. This is probably a very good thing for J&I, since we have much packing to do before moving on Saturday. We've made some slow beginnings at the task, most notably the boxing of the study. I always get up an appetite for my own books when I put them in boxes, and today was no different. It's been too long since I've flipped through Boswell or MacLuhan, and there are a number of Henry James short stories in my copy of Turn of the Screw that I never finished. I suppose this gives me something to do after we've unpacked. Meanwhile I'm reading Barnaby Rudge, Iliad IV, Matt 19, and Joshua 9. I intended to start in on a Loeb edition of Livy today, but I think I might have packed it.

It's been a pleasant past few days socially; we saw family yesterday (and picked up some Southern Tier IPA) and watched The King's Speech for the second time in a week at Magister's house last night. I also got to chat with Greg C., who apparently has taken the high office of Dr. Caton's T.A.
