The current issue of City Online has an article about Broadway songwriter Richard Rogers. People find his way enigmatic, his reclusion and difficulty with other people. I have to admit, it’s not something to aspire to, but I can understand why people close themselves up that way. Some people need to do that to be creative, I guess. Some people are really different, it’s just their way. Being different isn’t bad. I sometimes get apologetic about it, but I shouldn’t, and I know I shouldn’t.

How strange and interesting, this …
Schedule Sorting
The badness of my schedule a few days ago was beyond belief. It’s still somewhat ridiculous. Well, now, wait a minute. Maybe I’m being unreasonable to call one horrible class ridiculous. I do have a couple of days where I have to start at 9:30, but that’s not so bad. I just find the idea of teaching English to an even remotely hostile class from 8:45 – 10:00pm on a Friday night ridiculous.
