I am being inundated with letters from federal employees and others affected by the new administration’s changes in the last week — which have included ending investigations and enforcement related to discrimination in the workplace (*see note below); illegally firing 17 inspectors general; laying off employees working on accessibility, equity, and diversity; freezing or cancelling […]
Happy New Year! Today’s the last day of a two-week vacation. I didn’t do anything productive. But it was nice to take a break from both work and teaching. As typical, my spouse and I played a game of hiding a dozen plastic candy canes in a few rooms in the house. One person hides them all, and the other finds them. Once they’re all found, we reverse the roles. We keep playing until we tire of the game or run out of hiding places. Since a single round may take a few days, it may be a few months before we tire.
The last several weeks of home ownership have been challenging. Earlier in the month, intense storms came through the area. Radically changing weather is relatively common in Northeast Ohio. But when Rachel and I saw our trash cans blow down the street, we knew something was different.
My birthday was last month. I don’t particularly appreciate celebrating it because it tends to be overshadowed or grouped with other celebrations. For example, with its closeness to Mother’s Day, the holiday was usually the focus. When my younger sister was born on my seventh birthday, there were group celebrations from that point forward. And when my mom died a few days before a recent birthday, that brings a sad note to the time of year.
When I was in grade school, I experienced my first solar eclipse. We were told it was a total solar eclipse. Still, we either weren’t in the path of totality, or the instructor couldn’t be bothered to explain (or didn’t know) the different types of solar eclipses. I remember looking at the ground, where we could see pinholes of light slowly becoming crescent-shaped. But since I don’t have a clear memory of looking at the sun directly (with or without glasses), I have to assume it was a partial eclipse.
