Along with ten million others, took in the eclipse. Picked glasses up at the university, then came back and watched it with DJ at 62. Quite amazing, though we didn’t have totality here. The strangeness of the twilight, I realized at last, was because it came from everywhere at once, and didn’t merely flow from the darkening east. Memorable.

Heroic weeding Sunday, maybe too much, for I’m sore and back in muscle cramp mode, which I had left behind for long enough to be taken, this time, unaware.

First day of class. So far, good enough. Thought Sam might appear. My students gladdened my heart.
