On Long Commutes

February 28, 2006

O

n Saturday, when I went to M’s friend’s house for dinner, we talked about riding the train home from work. One person said that he noticed that very few passengers do what the Japanese do–read a book or listen to music. I don’t really agree. I have seen my share of those who read novels, [...]

Grading, grading, grading

February 26, 2006

Procrastinating weekend

February 21, 2006
