"RETREAT."
As in, I am going to the Faculty Senate Retreat today." What I am actually attending is a morning-long set of meetings. "Retreat" makes me think of an alpine chalet, a tropical spa. Not spending the morning in a room with institutional carpeting. Yet all these meetings that start the school year are called "retreats." I'm still waiting for my first Pina Colada.

Gentle Sir Philip Sidney, thou knew'st what belong'd to a scholler; thou knew'st what pains, what toil, what travail conduct to perfection.
About Me
- Piers
- West Tennessee, United States
- "I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."
