My favorite flowers are blooming. I love the variety in our garden... But it's been a learning curve in trying to maintain all our landscaping
There is a little Italian restaurant near us that is 1) Only open 11:30 am-5:30pm on Sundays. 2) has a limited menu with some combination of pasta, red sauce, meatballs, and bread. 3)Looks like it is in a church basement But it also has this meatball sandwich the size of a football.

I need to live in a place where poison ivy doesn't exist.
New academic hot take: All conferences should be in beautiful places. Con: no one will attend the panels
Pittsburgh Airport got a massive renovation. But, I might be the only person in the world that looks forward to seeing the old 1980s tile work. It's still around in parts. My father & grandfather were tile setters and worked on the airport. I wonder if the new floors will last over 40 years?

I foolishly started reading Project Hail Mary this past weekend... But it's the last week of classes and I am super behind on everything. Now, I just want to finish my book and not work.

I sold my first house when I moved to my current position. I just got a Zillow notification that it is for sale again. Its fun to see what the owners did with the house over the past three years. Glad to see they kept my DIY patio that I put my blood sweat and tears into. Also my funky tile choices!

When I joke about quitting teaching because of LLMs, it's good to remember that my students are pretty awesome. I just won our university's teaching award for 2025-2026. So maybe I am doing something right?

I would like OpenAI to pay for my Lexapro prescription I need to handle my anxiety about meeting students about their AI use. I would like them to pay me for the hours I am spending trying to figure out if a work was AI generated.
When Moose wants to play he grabs a sock or shoe and basically begs me to chase him. It's his favorite game. One time, while playing, he accidentally swallowed the sock. We panicked. Called the vet. Tried to make him throw up. Eventually weeks went by. A full 2 months later he threw up the sock.
