One of my top students used the phrase "approaching significance" in her thesis. Criminy! I am a failure as a mentor! If she said, "sneaking up on significance with intent to bludgeon it" then we would be fine.

I truly miss the peaches from Gaffney, SC—best in the world. But grilled Canadian peaches still make a great dessert.
Eating bluebs. Getting the grill ready for some ribs.
A good day for editing a thesis and listening to the Allman Brothers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggea...

Soaking up the sun on a cool floor. Indie finds comfort everywhere.
Time to sharpen my dulled academic criticism with a manuscript review today. Then there will be a nap.
My favorite photo from the office. Very tiny spider, very large shadow.
Today is the one-year anniversary of my cancer Dx 🍾. I'm still here and still dancing. Two more months of treatment remain. All signs are positive for a full cure. But yet: zero stars--do not recommend.
Indie is extremely annoyed and confused that biscotti resembles dog biscuits and thinks I am eating her food.

Congrats to graduating school psychology student, Francine, on this great achievement. I’m grateful to have been with Opaskwayak Cree Nation’s first school psychologist on her journey.
Nice outdoor pre-rainstorm body weight and mobility work this morning.
Yep. Quality, but kinda discouraging paper. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I appreciate my fellow humans. I rarely go to a cafe because I fear becoming obsessed with a barista.
Realizing you are likely going to survive cancer, but everything is different now. So the next question is—so what are you going to be with rest of your life. There can only be one answer for me—I am going to be a menace. (in the best possible way).
Ingredient prep Sunday—bacon and onion relish. Good on anything.
A lovely “treat yourself” summer morning. The 1st post-abdominal surgery core workout was humbling, but outdoor sun salutation, pup support, and a nice breakfast set things right.
Public debates on science are weird: Here are 100 years of consistent data on this point. It really is not at all controversial. Rebuttal: Nuh-uh. We have more money than you. And you are ugly, too. Rebuttal wins!
It has been a very long time. The grill, patio, watered down generic wine, and summer are joyful times—I think it’s time to find a sliver of joy.
I usually don't like film versions of musicals. They lose energy and miss the point. But saw film version of Hadestown last night and it was very good. Hermes, Hades and Persephone were amazing. High recommend.
