2008 in retrospect

For the third straight year, John Williams, who blogs at A Special Way of Being Afraid, has invited guests to chime in on what they loved most about the year, and he's resumed the series today.  Mine's there if you're interested, posted alongside a piece about a man and his dog that I made the mistake of reading during my conference hour.  Sucker got me all misty riiiight before a student came in for a conference. Sigh...

Anyway, they're usually pretty good, so my point is that you should maybe stop in sometime this week and check them out.
