The copier has been fixed, the Easter baskets are being distributed to local school families (known to the school counselor) but now we're in jeopardy of serious severe weather. (An OU Radar truck is somewhere in eastern Nebraska, if that gives you any idea)🤦♀️

Just for once, just for once in my life, I would like to see a panel or symposium or essay cluster on "the future of the university" (or its infinite variations) feature mostly scholars who have done a lot of teaching and admin and advising, and who have done it at schools that aren't super rich.

Me, after 15 years in Oklahoma: I hope Nebraska weather won't be boring.
Nebraska: How about fires and floods on the same day?
(Seems like a great day to shred the understaffed NWS. ::eyeroll::)

Also today we received a note from someone we'd never heard of in a different state. Our staff expressed concern about hate mail in this political climate. Me: "Hate mail usually doesn't turn up on Hallmark stationary."

So yesterday I did a Godly Play type children’s moment blessing the kids while lighting a candle for each one of them. It was a kind of holy quiet and special time, and then I had them come to the font and put the candles there. It was beautiful with the candles winking there on the font.
