Teaching a class to SF students. Halfway through a picture frame starts shaking behind one of my students’ walls. ‘Is that an earthquake?’ he shouts out to housemate. It is. We continue. They all agree to grab a burrito after class. Did I just stumble into an SNL sketch on California

Thank for all your birthday wishes! Age feels better than it looks. Also the children insisted we have birthday cake for breakfast so I’m certainly feeling very awake this Monday morning.
And last but not least, my darling husband gave me the most ‘welcome to NYC’ present🗽 🚕 🥨
