They can wait...

5 December 2020: I had planned to get half of my seminar grading done today (and do the other half tomorrow). But I ended up spending over an hour on the phone with Vogel and then a couple of hours on the weekly video chat with my Roanoke girls. And I needed every minute of both conversations.

Another reminder of how even when I am physically more alone than ever--and that won't end any time soon--I am blessed with these amazing friends. 

The papers can wait.
