Redemptive Glory

Well, my beloved NY Giants are the Super Bowl Champions and it feels great. It feels so good to see the Giants be on top. It makes all the pain and agony of watching them fade out over so many seasons worth it. We paid our dues and went up against our Goliath and we did more than just challenge it. The Giants won a well deserved and earned game. 

First full week of the Spring semester is upon me. I'll be teaching, reading and discussing Langston Hughes poetry all week. In all honesty, I did not think much of the guy but as much as I create a learning experience for students I learn more about the man himself. Hughes was and is a great literary force. His poetry is simple and complex all at once. I'll probably still rank him below Robert Frost but the man is up there. 

In all honesty, I'm more of a literature man as in prose and not verse. It's just who I am. 

I "borrowed" copies of Angela's Ashes, Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet today from the English Department bookroom. Psh, don't tell anyone. 

I'm feeling optimistic about this week. Let's see if this keeps up or if I'll be drained by the time Friday comes around. 

New Paltz soon.
