Do you provide them? Why or why not?

Anybody else struggle filling out a form that asks if you are an expert in something? I have a really hard time saying, "yes, I'm an expert in that!"

Managed to dig down through 2.5 - 3 feet of snow to find our downspouts before the warm weather and rain hits this week. Hope all that water can find someplace to go that isn't into our basement.

Serving only 5 years, he will be the shortest serving Chancellor in our university's history.

Our chancellor just abruptly announced his retirement for later this year. Interesting.

The reviewers who didn't like that this paper was 26 pages and said nobody would read it at that length would really hate my highly cited 54 page article.

I guess it isn't too bad when the peer reviews just say to make the article shorter.

A little motivation from our copy room.

We have 2 to 3 feet of snow on the roof of our house already. Supposed to get 6 to 9 inches of heavy, wet snow tonight. Hoping the roof doesn't collapse!

Kind of sad watching truck after truck unload coal at my university's physical plant outside my office window.

The more I collaborate with sociologists and anthropologists, the more interesting my paper titles become.

To the person sending me meeting requests for 2020. No.

I really hate when I have some technical/programming based thing I want to do, but don't really know how to do. I keep putting it off because I can't find the time it will take me to learn how to do the thing.

Just finished cleaning 7 inches of snow off the driveway. Now they're predicting another 9+ inches for tonight through tomorrow.
