Coals were still hot from last night’s Halloween driveway fire pit so we are working outside this morning.

Found the Black Knight in my "Spamalot" press kit, and the felt/gold trim was $4 at craft store. World's most patient schnauzer? Priceless. #halloween

Last night was History Department's back-to-school picnic/bake-off. I tried to enter my tart cherry slab pie in "Best Historical Dessert" category.*
My historian spouse: "How is this historical"
Me: "I made it on Taylor's & Travis' Day of Jubilee"

*(SPOILER ALERT: I DID NOT WIN.)

"You know this is the education research session, right?" Matt Barnum of WSJ might be surprised by standing-room only turnout at #EWA25 but I'm not! Boston Globe's Melissa Taboada moderates w/Doug Harris of Tulane and Constance Lindsay of UNC-Chapel Hill also sharing tips and knowledge.
