LilC got a jersey to play on varsity bball team for the first time! The team was then upset by 19 points and everyone had their jerseys taken away

Removed the "Education Matters" sign from my front lawn today. I plan to keep it so that I can put it back up in a couple years when it is needed again. The sign just may not have much meaning outside of Nebraska.

Listening to 90s music while doing a drive that I did hundreds of times in the 90s!

One year since we became a 3 EV family with the addition of the #Chevy #EquinoxEV! I really like the car, but still wish I could use Android Auto with it from my phone. Never will go back to an ICE car. This is a pic from one year ago--it's too cold outside to take a new pic today.

I hope my next university has warmer offices.

I am proud to say that I have retained the skills of being the "puke parent" between @kimberlypb.bsky.social and me. I am the parent who can clean up our kids puke without getting sick! I was put to the test this evening for the first time in a long time.

LilK and I attended our first Nebraska athletic event since early September. It's free to attend tennis. We were there to help him learn how to play tennis better, not to root for UNL.

Just finished watching "The Metrics" seminar again to prep for a presentation that I will give at another university about the faulty data, analyses, and conclusions used by UNL to eliminate 4 departments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUk2... #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK /1

LilC and I hit today. Notice almost all of the balls are on my side of the court. This is not a good sign for me.

First tennis racquet strung in 2+ months: my Pro Kennex with O-TORO at 48 pounds. Maybe I can turn this into a new career?! #LNK

Since I was in #Omaha today, I visited Westwood Golf Course, the course where I learned how to play golf, for some putting practice.

Visited #MillardNorth for the first time in almost 40 years; LilC had a bball game

It's strange that #UNL wants faculty in eliminated departments to put together annual performance review documents for themselves. My plans for next year simply say "find a new job". #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK

This is what could have been at #UNL rather than eliminating departments. The Regents would not take the time to examine it. #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK
