I stayed in Oxford last night. I find my way back here once a year or so, and every so often I spend the night and plan to see folks over a couple of days. This is one of the every so oftens. It is a favorite thing for me to do with a little time between Christmas and New Year’s, and I’m grateful to Lea for turning me loose for it.
I got to see my fourth grade English teacher yesterday at lunch. This was the first time since 2005.
Mrs. Thagard was the first person to show me art in the English language, and so she has something significant to do with who I am today. I consider it a rich and rare blessing to have a meaningful relationship with her as an adult, nearly four decades after she first touched me.
Last night I had a leisurely, laughter-filled dinner with some favorite Oxford classmates. I’ll have Thai for lunch today with another, and I’ll finish this year’s junket off with my Donoho/Grace friend Margaret over dinner.
(And then go home and still not have to be at work for five days!)
