Spring break

By Nerdishly ¶ Posted in nature, travel ¶ Leave a comment

During our four days and three nights in Chicago, we visited five museums, saw one play, shopped two favorite bookstores, and ate at several terrific spots, including Planta Queen.

Sunday morning

By Nerdishly ¶ Posted in travel ¶ 1 Comment

Hearing the university marching band practice early Saturday morning was wonderful, rivaled only by this otherworldly view on Sunday morning’s walk.

Route 57

By Nerdishly ¶ Posted in travel ¶ Leave a comment

78735D16-1C61-40EC-B328-73D429C22C2D

A seemingly abandoned railway depot along Route 57 in Illinois.

Tell me everything you know about this, my favorite landmark along the 3.25-hour route that links home and campus.

On the nightstand

• SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome
Mary Beard; 2018
For Introductory Latin I, my White Whale.

• Shakespeare After All
Marjorie Garber; 2004
This is an unfinished 2024 project that I will finish this year. In this, my third, rendition of “Shakespeare in a Year,” I am relying on Garber as my guide.

A list of all books I have read so far this year can be found here. Lists from previous years can be accessed from the pulldown menu under the “Reading” tab above.
