Outside Stockton

This Monday, while Dirk and Jill were visiting, after I'd given them the campus tour, we went for a quiet stroll in the woods around Lake Fred, where we saw a heron placidly standing in a shallow as Canadian geese flew overhead. I need to remember to take advantage of the other part of campus more often. If Stockton's interior sometimes feels an airport, its exterior offers the pleasures of a meditative retreat.
