I hope everyone is doing well. I was briefly on bereavement leave. Loss of a beloved parent is very hard. Appreciative of all the support and kindness friends and colleagues have shown to me.

I was stunned to learn last night while looking at Facebook that a high school friend died in the fall. She was only 49.

Winter keeps reminding us what time of year it is. I’m ready for summer, but will settle for spring as soon as possible.

Look, some jerk who doesn’t believe mass incarceration results from racist policies is the *only person to review my book on Amazon. I’m going to need a couple people to go ahead and balance out the thinly veiled racist anonymous reviewer. Thanks in advance.

TGIF! Friday the 13th! The sun has come out since it's only 16 degrees outside. It's also the last day of the fall semester. I hope everyone has a great day. Stay warm!

Good morning everyone! I'm back at the office. I had a good time at CNI in DC. All the AI sessions were balanced out by conversations with colleagues about other important work in the profession.

Campus is very quiet this week. It feels like the calm before the storm that is the end of the semester.
