Nothing better than Finals Week!
Since classes ended this week, I have been able to write a 10-page conference paper from scratch (including what I think might be the best intro I've ever written. Might shop it to you via e-mail), culled some passages together from the manuscript to make a fairly good rough draft of a journal article, and read through a book I might assign to the class in the fall. It is amazing what you have time for when you don't have to write lectures, prepare for class, and do up powerpoints.
One more week and it will be the first summer break I have had in 3 years.

Finally, my time is mine again (well, almost)

That's good news.
I'm jealous of teachers I know (hey, Will!) who will be getting the time off in a short order. Mental health takes no breaks.
I'm still waiting for a hell of a book to come out of the Beauregard camp. A journal article will do ... which reminds me, I need to wrap mine up and submit it, as it's been in the works for about a year now (stupid faulty computer).

We work too hard, ya'll. We ought to plan some kinda time this summer to all meet up. (That means you, Jake; you too, Will [I'll drive you].)
