Nice morning commute to work in Chicago on the L blue line, along with a mix of folks carrying briefcases, hardhats, and book bags. I've made this trek 100s of times without fearing crime. If government would like to make me safer and improve my quality of life, they could fund track repairs.

My 1st faculty job in 2001 was so consuming I feared I’d drop my love of running, so I made an alliterative goal: 10,000 miles to tenure. I made it, and today, after 2 promotions, a move, a sabbatical, knee surgery, and raising a kid, I hit 60,000 miles. Current goal: running at retirement.
