Writing Classes On Facebook

View Larger Map

Attention students: I created a Facebook group for The Writing Classes of Lauren R. Rice. I am going to use it post links, interesting things to read, and use Facebook Chat for office hours. If you'd like to "friend" me and take advantage of this FB group, let me know. Just search for lrrice@uno.edu (that's the email I used).

In other news, I completely forgot where I went that was "new" to me on Tuesday. I know I made it some where. Yesterday's adventure was equally lame. I was driving, and talking, and I got a little lost on the way to brunch. Of course, we were going an old stand-by, the Drake Diner, but, rather than turn on 25th from Forest, I got confused and went all the way down to 21st. I'd never been on 21st between Forest and University. There's a dry cleaner there. Who knew?

I am in that neighborhood all the time, and yet, there was a street I had never used before. I wonder how often that sort of thing happens? We just stick to our normal routine, our normal routes, and we never consider all the shops and stores and people that don't exist on the Google Map in our brain.

Tomorrow I am going to Greene, Iowa for a talk at a library. Updates to follow.
