There is snow in the mountains out here. Just a little. Like an inch. Moscow Mountain is sort of way off behind my apartment, so I glanced at it the other day (because, you know, it's a big looming object) and lo and behold, snow. But then down in the town it's like a different weather system all together. No snow. I like living in a place where I can be in one weather system and see another weather system.
Have been grading student papers. Favorite mistake: student who used "exorcise" instead of "exercise" throughout his paper. Imagine sentences like "We have to exorcise our first amendment rights." I took great pleasure in writing, in the margin, "To exorcise is to get rid of a demon. Is that what you wanted to say?" Then I drank whiskey to numb the relentless internal pain I feel when grading freshman papers.
