Might be kinda quiet around here for a few days — I (finally) have Covid, and feel like a dim bulb. A stuffy, achy, coughy dim bulb. Though if it gets no worse than this I will think I got off fairly easy. 

I hope the posts earlier today about Oliver Sacks and (especially) Fred Buechner are reasonably clear, though I might not be the best judge of that. 

One more thing: I can’t be absolutely precise about the timing because I don’t have access to a 1982 University of Virginia academic calendar, but: I taught my first class forty years ago this week. Which is an anniversary to remember. 

Okay, TTFN.
