SUMMER'S END, DEFERRED. DeKalb has experienced several consecutive days of new high temperature records, which have been conducive to cookouts and other outdoor activities. Because we've not yet had a killing frost here, I can't refer to these days as Indian Summer. No matter how one refers to it, they've offered an opportunity to demonstrate the new deck.

The inside is taking shape, too. In all the excitement, I've held off on posting much, in order to make time to grade and return bluebooks and problem sets. The semester doesn't stop for something as mundane as moving house.
