I'm spending my day off catching up on a pile of letters of recommendation I need to write for my students. I can't help but smile as I rave about these amazing young people to others.

The people who choose to allow their likeness to freely be used by others in Sora are the same people who make their Venmo transactions public.

I don't understand either.

Strong coffee. Lola Young is blaring. Hoodie is keeping me toasty on this crisp fall morning. Getting my grading done.

This focus helps keep me from fretting over our reality for a bit.

I'm thankful I live in a state where my wife and I could schedule our vaccines without any issues.

I'm sorry that hate fueled people in power who choose to ignore science are endangering us all by making it harder to help protect ourselves and others.

SO much new music dropped today. Where to start?

I'm starting by catching up on grading with the new Lola Young album. I'm so glad my daughter turned me on to her music.
