Humanist, extroverted introvert, Gen Xer, English prof, foolishly still believes that words and deeds matter. Returning to teaching in January 2025 after over 13 years in administration--trying to find my voice again (I know I left here somewhere!)

Thinking about and remembering Robbie Robertson today by listening to his eponymous debut album, which I love so much. "Fallen Angel," "Showdown at Big Sky," "Broken Arrow," -- great music and wisdom.

Desmond puzzled by the cat tunnel concept on this #Caturday
Desmond the cat lays under the cat tunnel rather than going through the cat tunnel

For some reason this happens every time we fill up our tupperware container with cat food. #Caturday #blep
Oliver and Desmond, two cats, munch on dry cat food in a Tupperware container. Oliver, a Siamese cat, is sticking out his tongue.

Happy Peace Corps Day! Today seems like a good day to remember that over 240,000 citizens have served over the past 64 years to promote peace & foster intercultural understanding. Peace Corps is a good way to recall that kindness, empathy, & service know no borders & are part of our shared humanity.

Sending good karma your way, and my cat Desmond says hi. Your presence on BlueSky brightens the world a bit for a lot of us here!
Desmond is a ragdoll cat in mid-stretch on his back, reaching one paw up and outward as if to say "hi."

Please do not tell Desmond, my ghost cat, that Halloween is over.
Is that Desmond, a white and ginger cat, hiding behind a sheer curtain?
