I have put Christmas lights in every room of the house. This weather has me wondering if I can add some to my office too.

For many years now, I have not been able to hear “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” without thinking of Will Ferrell on a spinning platform.

I have found this list of Folger manuscript shelfmarks. I’m sure it meant something to me when I wrote it.

I got a new Mac Mini for my office last week and my Bluetooth keyboard is not connecting today. Of course I do not have my dongle or a cable with the right connections to plug it in. I’ve done all the non-computer tasks I can. If I can’t find something in the student shop, I will have to go home. 🙄

Some of you may have heard me saying in the last few days that I needed to get back to TD Garden before heading home. I finally did it and this is why.
