Planting tulips

[pegkerr]

I spent a good number of hours planting tulip and crocus bulbs. I have only about forty bulbs to go; I made good progress using the auger on the power drill that lsanderson lent me, but I had to stop to recharge the drill and by the time it was charged up enough again, the daylight was gone.

Ow. My back hurts. I will be retiring to the bathtub soon. I certainly hope it will all be worth it in the spring.

Damn. I forgot that next weekend was to be the Rivendell discussion group meeting on Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf, and I haven't yet picked a copy up or started reading it. I kinda wanted to go to that. Is it possible to knock the book off in a week, do you think?

Heaneywulf is fairly short--3182 lines, like the original-as-we-have-it. I don't know whether your question was rhetorical :) but a week should be all right.

(Hope your back eases soon.)

Undergrads are required to knock off a novel per week per class ... I see no reason why you couldn't read Beowulf in a week!

Good luck!

Undergraduates, however, don't have schedules that are anything like mine in other respects.
