This image popped up on my car radio this morning. One week ago I would have been VERY confused to learn that I immediately thought “Coldplay!” Life is weird…

No idea if this is new, but today I noticed that my cough drops are cartoonishly against me resting and repairing my body. What even is this?!

There is it is. UF values our vital work. Thanks! So weird that they forgot to say this during any of their multiple emails telling us to stop doing anything related to DEIA two weeks ago.

PSA: If you have a white board with 5 year old marker on it (made by, coincidentally, a 5 year old's marker), you can't erase it anymore. However, if you write over it with white board marker, it erases. I don't understand (at all), but it works. It was a happy morning!

I haven't been in my office since Friday. Sat down to this helpful note I left myself in the center of my desk. I appreciate the trust you have in me Colin of 6 days ago but, unfortunately, I'm going to need more details...

We’re at the point of the semester where students start returning books they borrowed from me. UF undergrads are one of the best parts of the job.

If we could all have had slightly more focus on AI, I’m sure we could have pulled this one out.

First time hosting the UF Social Psych area for Thanksgiving since pre-Covid days. Half the area was in town and came. So full of good feelings and food.
