Continuing with #excavation of cupboard in @pompeii_sites , house of the Lararium : fascinating to see a closed 79 AD context with pottery & glass... Even more fascinating: of most of the shapes there are exactly 6 items! = number of people who lived here? 🕵️‍♂️

Home Depot's singular positive mark on American society is thanks to the unknown hero on some product committee who was like "the people don't know what they want, we will show them" and then gifted us the 12 ft tall skeleton. Happy enormous skeleton season to all who celebrate.

Me in August: "This year, I am going to stick 100% to my schedule and keep weekends entirely free from work."
Me this past weekend: "But it's just an agenda...just a few assignments to grade...just a--"

(I stopped myself from going all-out, but still.)

Oh, man, this is painful. (Also, people, quit thinking the dragon man is a medieval expert. Expert in awful wedding experiences, yes.)

So I am half-way through grading/replying to my students' self-introductions, & once again, I find myself falling in love with them & their dreams. I know it is the honeymoon period, but still, they're great.
