Every year Split Rock Lighthouse is lit up on November 10th in honor of the 29 men who died on the SS Edmond Fitzgerald, and the thousands of others who have lost their lives on the Great Lakes. I was able to make it up and catch it this year, it was worth the drive.

Jeri Taylor was responsible, in large part, for changing my life. She was elegant, erudite, & fiercely opinionated. She wanted Kathryn Janeway to be a significant part of her legacy & there is no doubt that in that endeavor she succeeded.
I owe her a debt of gratitude.
May she rest in peace.

I’m so tired of higher Ed claiming that sports are good because of the money they bring in.
Big weekend for UCONN basketball so it’s probably a good time to note that the school is cutting 15% from all academic units over the next five years to cover a $70M deficit, yet continues to subsidize athletics with over $30M per year from the academic side.
