Cleaning up old scratch pads in prep for my move, and I come across one that says "API is currently in alpha. ... Ability to save search, iterative... next six months is prioritizing user input...." and I can think of at least three different projects this could be. lol.

Happy National Coffee Day. A morning without coffee is like a striking analogy I’ll probably come up with after I’ve had more coffee.

Last night, while playing games w/ friends, one casually asked, "hey, is your cat supposed to be wearing something around his middle?" No. No he was not. It was the twisted paper handle of a paper shopping bag he had destroyed by running through it and getting stuck. Orange cat in a tuxedo cat body.

When two of the guys in my Sunday DnD game casually marvel at the probability of a certain roll coming up, I often think ‘yeah, I never knew that math.’ And marvel that it takes all kinds. Conversely, I’m slowly teaching them a lot of new words. Lol. Engineers.

Do any lovely medievalists know of good medieval descriptions of hangovers? Thank you!

Love when I'm spraying down a mirror to clean it and my cat just looks horrified, as if she's wondering what my reflection did to earn the spray bottle.

I mean, as a test drive of being retired, it's been real eye opening.

My high school principal using that term resulted in a spoof of My Fair Lady for Senior Night, with one of our most talented actresses asking in a shocked voice: ‘Yew bin lewkin at my boomers?’

Childcare for conferences and certain other grant situations ( for NEH) had just been approved in cfr200 changes right before all this started happening. Progress was being made there …. sigh.

Clearly, the first answer is about my feelings.

I once got "too much reading" in a Myths and Fairytales class. We were reading *Cinderella*. (admittedly, in several versions, but still...)

I'm going to take a wild guess that I probably know the people at Penn involved in this: careers.insidehighered.com/job/3382142/... -- can someone please explain? This IS book history and not material science, right? The complete lack of details in this job ad leaves so many questions.

Pish, you've been in the gift shop there for ages😆. But, really, congrats!

A gin flip with basil as the herbal component. Gin, egg, basil, maybe some sugar? Shake thoroughly. I haven’t had one since the Before Times, but I figure once you add an egg, it’s basically a protein drink and thus healthy.

So many options, Brett. Ever had a Basil Flip?
