Today I return to teaching my online memoir class (Mining The Mine for Memories) for the University of Houston Victoria. Last year it went very well. It was my introduction to using Blackboard. A good opportunity to enhance my teaching skills and provide myself with a nice focus for 8 weeks.
I completed and submitted my review of The Strivers'Row Spy by Jason Overstreet to the NY Journal of Books. The next book I requested to review is Chicago Heat and other stories by Clarence Major.
My goal is to review a book a month.
I'll spend the day doing some correspondence and reading. Currently I'm reading Letters from Langston: From the Harlem Renaissance to the Red Scare and Beyond edited by Evelyn Louis Crawford and Marylouise Patterson. The letters are filled with some funny stories about Zora.
Nothing has changed in terms of how writers behave.
Yesterday, Bernard Richardson, dean of the HU chapel came by the house. I gave him a poster of Howard Thurman.
I'm still in the early stages of downsizing.
