My students believe that I spend the weekends watching Nova, knitting, talking to my mom, and reading a tall tower of dusty, smelly books. Sometimes, I suspect, they believe I read by torch light, cackling as I think of new ways to torture them. They think I talk to my dog more often than I talk to other people. I mean, I don't really cackle, but I do love a smelly book. In general, nerdy posts don't bring a lot of traffic to Moore English., but sometimes I have to write nerdy.
