I’m sure opinions will vary on this, but if you can recruit a cat to do physical therapy for you, that should count toward your reps.

Last day of 4 at the CofC faculty writer's retreat. It's been great. My work has been primarily empirical this time, not "writing" a draft or editing, but just patiently going through issue-by-issue of 25 produced of The Chinese Evangelist (CE) (1888-91). (1/2)
