If words are cameras. Thursday, June 6, 2013. Grandma's Getting a Twitter: Thoughts on Citizenship in the 21st Century Literary Community. There's a joke in the math department, "The university loves us because we're cheap dates. All we need is pencil, paper, and a wastebasket. Of course, they love the philosophy department even more: all they need is pencil and paper.".

If words are cameras. Monday, June 11, 2012. Why we stopped coloring and started getting our taxes done on time. I think that, at one time or another, we were each really good at something for our age.

I brought my ipod, but never ended up using it. Posted by becca.rljackson@gmail.com. Monday, February 13, 2012. I tapped your...
