Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It’s a busy-ish weekend with some typesetting, a massive number of corrections on a set of page proofs, and the almost-done North Dakota Quarterly issue strewn across 50 or so emails. There’s also the first two T20I matches between South Africa and Australia, and, more importantly, the heavy weight championship of the world.  

Hopefully, I’ll also have time to get a few long walks in Grand Forks’ Late-February answer to the Halcyon Days and nudge my way through a small stack of student papers. Without being one of those guys, I’m pretty excited about the weekend.

With any luck, your weekend will be every bit as full and enjoyable, and just maybe this little gaggle of quick hits and varia will help:

• New Hesperia.

• From Greece to Cyprus by ferry.

• Catena.

• The Folly of Exclusion: architectural orders, art, and politics.

• Enduing the End of the World.

• Hyped on Melancholy.

• UND’s Writers Conference.

• Jazz Landmarks in Philadelphia.

• The flu at UND.

• RIP Mr. Copy and Paste.

• Man camps and work/life balance.

• The Student, the Fish, and Agassiz.

• On Not Picking Up a Birthday Watch.

• What I’m reading: Journal articles! The latest Hesperia article on the excavations at Corinth in 2018 and a report on the Neolithic period at Tsoungiza.

• What I’m listening to: Albert Ayler, Spiritual Unity.
