1) Andre Braugher.
2) Running now that nights are cooler (40F is a lot more energetic than 90F at 11pm).
3) My approved leave for next academic year.
4) Everyone in the world. Yes, everyone.
Before the month is out

Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less,
Withdraws into its happiness:
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds, and other seas;
Annihilating all that's made
To a green thought in a green shade.

Everyone in the world? That's very generous. :)
Where is this "leave" taking you?
Approved leave! (what is the emoticon for "confetti and balloons"?)
Hey, Congratulations! And thanks! And love back atcha!
(My verification is "dogma"!)
I will be "leaving" to my computer, in the office in my basement. And I won't move until the book is done.
Hooray!!
And though I'm not sure that everyone in the world is quite good enough for you, RG, I guess that's just a lesson you'll have to learn on your own.
Pretty close to everyone in the world, I feel certain. But especially Andre Braugher. I've slowly watched the entire series of Homicide: Life on the Street over the last couple of years, and he's so, so freaking riveting. And I'm filled with glee that he's showing up on House this season.
Have I mentioned that if I can get the fellowship for which I plan to apply, I'll be off teaching from April 2010 to September 2011? I'm not counting my chickens, though. And I can make some hay from April 2010 to January 2011, in any case.
A.B. on _House_ has been awesome. It almost makes enduring several hours of Monday classes worth it. Almost.
