Roma

12 January 2019: So the original plan was for me to drive to Charleston, WV tomorrow (Sunday) for my interview for West Virginia Professor of the Year on Monday. Then came (of course!) news of an impending winter storm. So here I am in Charleston a day early, getting out of the Eastern Panhandle ahead of the storm. What to do alone in a place you don't know when it's cold and rainy outside (though thankfully not snowing)? Hunker down in the hotel room, reading and watching Netflix, which leads me to Roma.

So glad I got to watch this film. This piece from Slate puts a lot of what I loved about it into words. This piece about the level of detail is great, too.
