For 12 weeks, September to December, 2022, a total of 30 hrs, I taught in-person every Monday and Wednesday, 8:40 am to 9:55 am, in Middlebury College’s Axinn Center for the Humanities, room 104. Each teaching day I arrived 10 to 15 minutes early, time enough to re-arrange the furniture and open the blinds, leaving me 5 minutes to collect myself and fire up technologies before the first masked good morning, Professor arrived.
