8+ years as a Community College Prof. and I've been seeing something a bit different this year as well. Started last year with a bit better attendance, participation, and grades than the past few years. This year the recent grads seem more...aware? Present? More something.

A rare find out in the used bookstore wilderness! Dark Star Books in Yellow Springs OH has a huge sci-fi collection!

Found this at Dark Star Books & Comics in Yellow Springs OH yesterday...

"Huh. Good find. We don't get many @scalzi.com's in here!"

"I know...that's why I bought it!"

Two LEGO Minifigs gazing at art while security watches.

Two LEGO Minifigs gazing at art while security watches.

We are planets
Who've collided
And are slowly forming
Something new

I may not ever see my work hanging in a gallery...but if I do, I know you'll be there to sit and stare at it with me, and soak in the joy.

Too much crazy to summarize! But...there are more signs of resistance every day!

I like to "rescue" Louis Bromfield books when I see them. I hate seeing them on shelves, forgotten. I grew up going to Malabar Farm, Bromfields home near Mansfield Ohio where he was a successful experimental farmer and the Hollywood elite used to visit. (Bogart and Bacall were married there!)

I love authentic or family run ethnic restaurants. I've only ever been in two kinds. One feels like a whole family runs it: COME IN! SIT DOWN! WELCOME TO OUR HOME! EAT! ENJOY! BE MERRY!

The other kind is run by just the grandparents: SIT. EAT. GOOD. DONE? WE LOVE YOU BUT GET OUT. WE'RE BUSY HERE!

How have you lived in Ohio and never had Amish egg noodles with butter? I didn't think that was possible...
