My desk in a office enclosure, cubby, whatever you want to call it, that is directly outside a Dean's office. His secretary is opposite me. When they designed this office I was in most days and the two secretaries were each half-time. They still are, but now I'm out a lot. I need the wall space for a lot of storage shelves, though, so we haven't rearranged things. It was pretty messy for a long time, but since I'm not on campus much I figured I owed it to them to clean up my act. It has done a little backsliding since the holidays because the secretary who decorates for the annual Friends holiday meeting uses it as the staging area for her ribbons and garland. This kind of disarranges things. I'm about to get a new computer setup, so it will look much better soon.

Not a lot done today, I watched television and listened to the radio. What a pleasure! Those folks all looked pretty chilly, but it was a beautiful day for a new beginning. Talk about de-cluttering! Shove those Bushes out of the White House.
