Cleaning up some storage shelves, and it may be time to convert/discard some media. (This is just a sample.)

Needed to look something up in the New York Times of 50 years ago, and even though I am a child of the age of print, was floored to find out that the Sunday, Jan 25th 1976 edition of the NYT was 432 pages long.

Arg, another Monday storm forecast, so quite possibly another cancelled Monday class. I should really get this course moved to a different day of the week.

Public service announcement: Denmark is a great place to visit, there will be non-stop flights from Halifax this summer, and its reputation for being expensive is kinda overblown. (For reference: the hotel I stayed at in Copenhagen is currently half the cost of a similar hotel in Charlottetown.)

Hm, things are getting to the point where I might have to ask that ex-special forces guy I know to take me out in the woods and give me some basic lessons in, uh, collecting wildflowers and suchlike.

If you want to know how today is going, I just found out that the space I'd usually use for students with extra time accommodations to do evaluations is now an off-limits "AI Lab."

Don't tell anyone this, but if your excuse for missing class is "I had to help my parents on the farm" I'll probably let you use this as many times as you want over the term.

I think there are two kinds of bakers- the kind that carefully sift the baking powder into the flour, and the kind that made the cookie I had at a cafe today. It was like taking a bite out of a stick of antiperspirant.
