It keeps on coming...

29 January 2026: Spent a lot of this work-from-home day feeling good about making progress on several fronts. 

NEA grant? Submitted. 

ENGL 101 assessement? Just waiting for the go-ahead to drop the final pieces into place. 

Studies in American Humor work? Nothing outstanding. 

ENGL 101 textbook revision? Got the ball rolling yesterday and sort of in a holding pattern for now

So...yeah. Feeling okay. 

I even thought to myself, "Wait...after I finish this list, is there really only one big thing (not teaching related) I need to tackle?"  (A manuscript to review for my new-ish Associate Editor gig with McFarland.)

Was low-key giddy at the very idea. But the "low-key" is probably because I sensed that I was wrong...

Late in the afternoon, I remembered something...a grant application for NWP. 

And a thousand small teaching-related things...

No rest for the weary, but on we go, I guess...
