October 1, 2016, Flagstaff-
A Jill of all trades has been
working tirelessly,
for nearly a decade,
to keep her children on track.
A long-lost friend
surfaced today, to give
a scholarly presentation.
He and I will be
at another location,
tomorrow.
Feast or famine,
with certain friends.
What seemed like
a rivalry between
two institutions
for which I care deeply,
is more a matter
of systemic transition.
These are things I learned, today.
