midwest thoughts

occasional musings from the heartland, removed from distractions like mountains, seacoasts, and any elevation of the land -- flat other than the several glacial ravines that run through the area.

And the term grinds to a close----

We're now officially in exam week, and there'll be a bit of a break before summer teaching starts on June 18th (I'm doing the censorship class again)--student projects due on Wednesday, which shouldn't be too bad--the current class has had its problems, but they're relatively minor. One unexpected result: a student asked me to be in a scene for his directing class (for new colleague Jimmy Bohr, who staged the Our Town I was in last spring), so I'm doing the father of the boyfriend in Terrence McNally's Andre's Mother with one of our first year M.F.A. actors, an undergraduate student, and a woman from the community.

Also having fun with a new blog, "Molds 'R Us." (There's a link over in the column on the left). Here are three of my current favorite molds:

smoked tofu

some sour cream


and some coffee. Great what nature produces!
