Bogged down in marking, setting one foot in front of the other, and asking myself, "what would Xena do?"  Why yes, she would set fire to the whole stack of papers and ride out of town whooping.  This is not helpful.

Real work soon.

Helen leaving for Troy with Paris, as depicted by Guido Reni (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Made up an exam.  Deleted 200 emails, still have 700 in my inbox.  Watched Xena and Helen of Troy.  Booked transportation for a conference.  Did not indulge in any higher-order thinking of any kind. Though I liked the casting for Helen, and the clever construction of the Trojan Horse, out of wicker mats, which they could have put together pretty quickly.
