A host, of golden daffodils."

Email: one out, three in.
I've fallen, and I can't get up.
Tenure will be eliminated at most of Oklahoma's public colleges, Governor says.
Reading The Chronicle as a professor is really hard today.
The hot brown morning liquid is my entire energy store at the moment.
Went to PT today. I asked how many follow-ups I need.
Therapist: "let me check how many visits your insurance allows per year."
Should that really be the deciding factor?
It really is!
Maybe it's nostalgia, but I'm thinking about James Garfield's comment that the ideal education was "Mark Hopkins at one end of a log and a student at the other."
Does sound nice...
Watching The Night Manager. Good so far!

Prepping a talk on AI and teaching and learning for tomorrow.

It would appear I am now a columnist at Inside Higher Ed. My first piece focuses on McCarthyism, censorship, and our current moment in higher education. This is an essay I started nearly 6 months ago so I'm glad to finally share it with y'all.

When I was teaching about 6 sections of freshman comp years ago, a mentor said "you can do anything for a semester."

Be kind to yourselves!
