I would much rather have snow over the nasty rain. I actually enjoyed shoveling the driveway. First time in at least seven years. Not sure how long the enjoyment will last.

Welcome to Vermont

Happy Birthday, Dinny!

Happy Birthday, Chris!

Agreed on all counts.

The “More-Real” version of Ted Lasso, sort of.

Absitively, Posilutely!

Happy Birthday, Peter! If we lived closer I would give you a bottle of my favorite Mezcal, for now this will have to do

Happy Birthday, Carl!

Went for a nice hike today. But the best part was when it was over. Karen informed me that she wanted to drive home. Not unusual, so I thought nothing more about it. As I was sitting in the passengers seat she asked me if I had any coffee left from this morning. That was a little weird as I rarely finish my coffee before our hike and she never asks me. I say yes and she hands me a bottle of her turmeric/ginger Kombucha. I looked at her quizzically and she just said, “open it up and smell it”. So I did, and it was definitely not Kombucha, in fact my nose immediately informed my brain that it was bourbon. So I poured it into my coffee and had a very nice ride home. Did I say that I love my wife?

Pretty nice birthday weekend. Started out Friday giving my “famous” dinosaur lecture for Norwich’s Dino Day, then Saturday we went for a late lunch at J. Morgans Steakhouse. Sunday we went for a four hour hike that ended up taking 6 hours because we went the wrong way to the trailhead and ended up having to park the car 1+ miles from the trailhead 🤦‍♂️. Anyway, a very enjoyable birthday in Vermont.

Last night baching it for dinner: A nice salad with great Bleu Cheese dressing Bruschetta Polenta Veal Marsala with Risotto Tiramisu

Happy Birthday, Andrew!

All Administration and tenured or tenure track faculty have to wear a uniform during the school year. That includes the Provost but not non-tenured associate professors, i.e. me. Karen during the Dog River Run a couple of weeks ago.

Going to be hanging in the president’s box at our football home opener.

Good Luck Nate. Sorry I couldn’t be there to help cheer you and your team on.

Put Florida in the rearview mirror

Karen dragged my ass (part way) up and down a local mountain

That’s one of the things my pocket knife is used for.
