...because I am finishing my final grading (yes, I am definitely a slowpoke). AND--I am working on my syllabus for Intro to Creative Writing--which may not be held after all, as its enrollment is at 19 students now, and "they" need as close to 25 as possible. I'll likely know this week. Still, even if it gets canceled, the offer meant everything to me. Really. Thanks, Dr. X!
As for the fires, they are getting contained. I do not know if the beautiful house I rented on Browns Valley Road in Corralitos is still there. It was up near the top, close to the junction of Hazel Dell Road, where a lot of the fire happened.
I have heard absolutely nothing in the news regarding Michael McClish, either, as the story probably got shufffled aside due to reportage on the wildfires.
Back to grades, back to the syllabus, and so the day ends.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
