At about 5.30 p.m. today, my first-ever sabbatical leave commenced. I did a couple of happy-dance jigs on my way down the hallway and out of Thompson House.
In my home office in the first 30 minutes of sabbatical.
The next four months and two weeks are new adventure. I have much to accomplish, and projects to tend and nurture and complete. And I have books to read, and sleep to take, and travel to do, and music to write.
Tonight, though: a steak dinner with a dear friend. Some bubbly. And no alarm on Tuesday morning.
