I am heartbroken and angry over the murder of Jonathan Joss.
I was already going to Topeka, and I was already going to visit. But this cemented my desire to visit 🏳️🌈Equality House 🏳️🌈 for the first time this evening.
We won’t be silenced by hatred We will be PROUD of who we are.

I mean no offense to happy and self-actualized Asian village dogs, but I’m pretty sure these goofballs are perched very comfortably atop Maslow’s hierarchy.

Bo’s been sending clear signals that a snowy Friday is a good reason to knock off early.

When you wake up to frigid wind chill and an unexpected mini snow storm, there’s only one thing to do.

As 2025 rolls out of the station, please don’t forget about the people of Eastern TN & Western NC who were impacted by Helene. Many are in tents, campers, or unhoused. We just had another flood event this week, and our weekend forecast, if it holds, would bring more devastation.

It is cold. It is wintry.
I will be joining Bo under a pile of blankets.
Come get me when it’s 2025.

It was a cool and wet morning for the annual High Country Turkey Trot to benefit Hospitality House of Northwest NC. While working check-in, it was great to see so many familiar faces from our community who got up early and braved the elements to support our region.

Seriously, though, if you ever find yourself in Cheyenne (which you should - it’s a great little city, lots of walkable stuff, good food, friendly folks), go to Accomplice in the historic train depot.

This is their “I’m doing this because I can” sound, not the “I actually see/smell something” alarm. That makes this seem like a mere whisper.

I took a short-form stained glass-making class through my university’s public craft enrichment program. I am horribly inept at the visual arts, but wanted something creative that I didn’t worry about being good at. Turned out really enjoying it, met nice folks, and will probably take it again.

After 11 years as a faculty member, it is a relief and a joy that, effective today, I can finally drop all of the qualifiers in my title.
It’s just “Professor” now.
I’m looking forward to the wonderful years to come at App State and @arrc.bsky.social!

Last night, we had the pleasure of attending Appalachian State’s Apparel Design & Management Program’s annual Spring Showcase. These students worked so hard and produced some amazing designs. These are the kinds of things that make regional and rural-serving college such awesome places to be!
