Blog With A Dog. E-mail me at billdeg@umich.edu. Back on migraine meds. Hey, running a writing program ain't all bad. You get to influence classroom practice, have loads of conversations about teaching, and use the noxious abbreviation "ad-min.". Today, a day with a budget meeting in the dean's office on my schedule, just happens to be the day I wear two different socks. I mean, who notices socks? Not a big deal. But I.

Blog With A Dog: Bibimbap
http://bdegenaro.blogspot.com/2014/12/bibimbap.html
Blog With A Dog. E-mail me at billdeg@umich.edu. My fourth adventure from The Global Kitchen. Took Nicole and I to Korea earlier tonight for a traditional rice bowl dish called bibimbap. We both appreciated the mild flavors- fresh ginger, garlic in moderation, sweetness from apple cider vinegar and a little bit of sugar- and the healthy combination of veggies and other good things that converged in the bibimbap (it's fun to say! Nice post.kindly visit us @ HSV treatment in India. The Daily Star of Lebanon.

Blog With A Dog. E-mail me at billdeg@umich.edu. I didn't accomplish the five things I put on my weekend to-do list, though I graded some. On the bright side, I've been exercising most every day. In theory, exercise is supposed to increase one's energy and mood, but I've never understood the whole "don't you feel great? Has felt solid as well. So long, Lou, thanks for the tunes. In ninth grade, I bought Lou's new solo record New York while home from school on Christmas break, I think with Christmas money...

Blog With A Dog. E-mail me at billdeg@umich.edu. So with a moment to breathe I look back at what I've written on this blog in the last six weeks and see a lot of failure. Wanted to get back on the wagon and lose some weight. Didn't. Wanted to start blogging again on a regular basis. Didn't. Wanted to find a good balance between administrative duties and writing/research and other facets of my work. Haven't. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Daily Star of Lebanon. The Detroit Free Press.

Shabbatical: April 2013
http://shemesterinsharjah.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 24, 2013. My campus hosted two major U.S. poets this week: Natasha Trethewey (current poet laureate) and Christopher Merrill. They gave a master class for our English majors and faculty and shared some useful ideas and insights. Some random things I jotted down for future reference/use/reading:. Merrill: Emily Dickinson wrote 400 poems in 1862 and didn't mention the Civil War (explicitly) a single time. Both: poets are in conversation with one another, so read widely. Play with call-...

Shabbatical: February 2013
http://shemesterinsharjah.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 22, 2013. Got a complete draft of my article (actually a chapter for a book that a colleague here in Sharjah is editing) done. About 10,000 words. I should cut 2,500-3,000 words, but it feels good to have the draft done. A milestone! At any rate, WRITE. EVERY. DAY. Thursday, February 21, 2013. Off to the races, part two.

Shabbatical: March 2013

Monday, March 25, 2013. A bachelor no more. Nicole arrived safely late last night. I took the Metro to the Dubai airport early to wait for her, which gave me time to study my Arabic lessons and worry. I was extra anxious about all the little things that my brain told me could go wrong: customs might not approve of one of the entries (Syria? Sunday, March 24, 2013. Last week Jack Richards. If you're reading this in the U.S., think about that for a minute. Most English teachers are not. The popular book by...
