Here's the kind of comment I'll never understand. You don't have to read our blog. The internet is a very big place. Hate the feminism and fitness blog? Don't read it. Let other people enjoy it. Go do your own thing. Start your own blog. How about you write about the things that you think matter.

2. It's also my night to do House Calls. For nearly a decade, U of G faculty and staff have volunteered to participate in House Calls, a program run by Student Housing Services that trains volunteers to go door-to-door in U of G residence buildings to check in on students.

You know it's been a good holiday when...
I arrived at my office this morning only to discover I'd forgotten an important password. Then, I opened my notebook to look for budget notes to prepare for a meeting with the Provost, and I found Scopa and Scrabble scores.
