Setting the stage

My Wednesdays this semester have two classes - the weekly lecture for "After Religion" at 10:15, and the second meeting of the Monday-Wednesday seminar "Religion and Ecology" at 4:00. I took advantage of our being online for the first two weeks of the semester for the 4:00, beaming in from home. But I ventured down to my office for the first one. This had its purpose: that lecture will be online all semester, but I'll be zooming in from the office, in hopes of luring students to join me IRL for office hours after it. It was fun to post a picture and then show that I was already in my book-walled cave, ready! (A bright nearly empty subway car offered its blessing as I headed to school.)
