About 20 years ago - our first Thanksgiving together - we started the tradition of using this cow creamer thing for gravy. It is every bit as disgusting today as it was back then.

Sometimes Department Head means lots of paperwork, policies, budgets, and so on. But sometimes it means you get to explore campus with a new friend so their parent can focus on class when their plans go sideways. Today was the later sort of sometimes.
