Life, Death, and Television

Fiorella tossed twenty-three years worth of attendance charts, grade books, and syllabi into the trash can today. Twenty-three years of her life, but it was time to move on. She's been out of the academic scene for ten years now and needs to clear the shelves to store her books, stories, poems, and essays.

Husband likes to watch television ALL THE TIME, which drives Fio crazy, especially since he usually has the volume turned up, so last night she ran upstairs into her office for respite--only to discover that the TV in the master bedroom was also going full blast. GRRRR!

Fio just learned the her old college roommate, Mary Cornelia Spinks Weil, died in January. Corny became a renowned journalist, but more important to Fio, she was a great roommate, and wherever she's headed now, Fio wishes her well.
