Had a good teaching day on Friday. It’s parents weekend on our campus, and I get through the usual bit on Friday. Guy comes up to me after class and asks if I have a few. He introduced himself as the father of one of my students and let me know his son was sick and couldn’t make class

Had to spend some of the time this morning setting appts for an oil change and eye appt. I should clarify that the oil change is for the car and the eye appt is for me.
In both cases I had to plow through an AI menu only to have neither be capable of making an appt.

If you think you have had all the cuteness you can handle today, you need to make room for more.

Plot line for the White Collar reboot just dropped
In a minutes-long strike Sunday inside the Louvre, thieves rode a basket lift to the museum, forced a window into the Galerie d’Apollon — while tourists pressed shoulder-to-shoulder in the corridors — smashed display cases and fled with Napoleonic jewels, officials said.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Just throwing this out there: I had the first class yesterday. 2 sections, 270 students each. They showed up enthusiastic and optimistic and ready to go.
How about we don't mess that up?
Not sure how I'm going to do it exactly, but I am determined to do what I can to keep the optimism up.
