Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5310970, member: 12088"] I was going to retire last year in May. But my college offered me a sabbatical if I’d return for another two years. So this past year has been a lot of doing nuthin. But the semester I go back to work is fast approaching: College full speed ahead. I actually did one important thing: I worked on my latest novel. It’s #9 in the series and I’m about 58k words in. I’d really like to finish a draft before September. Oh, yeah, and I installed a new drip irrigation system. Once the semester begins, I’ll be teaching a class on Sophocles’ Antigone. The class will spend the fall reading it in Greek. I may take the opportunity to write something on Antigone, and maybe about tragedy more broadly. Maybe throw in a little Nietzsche too. He loved tragedy, even if I think he misread it sometimes.
