Marin Marais on the CD. I used to play this CD over and over again, the Follies of Spain.

Something “clicked” today and I was officially back on campus, in spirit as well as body. Did it really take me this long to come back from sabbatical? My classes were delightful, and I’m willing to believe it was my change in perception rather than theirs in behavior. I’ve been grumpy. I thought it was more serious than that. Informal department gathering at Brew & View– I think that helped. Devoured a spinach salad so immense that consuming it gave me a sense of accomplishment.
