Another day, another meeting. More departmental stuff, this time over appetizers. It was a meeting scheduled for two hours — so not a retreat, by rule — that somehow wound up going about three-and-a-half hours.
And then, of course, there was being chummy with friends and colleagues. The usual sort of thing where you plot to take over the world. It’s a delightful time with smart people. We’ve built — and I guess I get to add myself to this now — the second largest program on campus. It is also thought to be the largest sports media program in the country. So they’re smart and talented and we have these common goals and it’s all quite delightful.
Except for the part where we were standing out in a parking lot chatting and, on May 21st, I could see my breath. That’s some wild weather.
Anyway, here’s another look at the lovely paenoia out front.
And, nearby, this iris I don’t understand at all. But it is quite striking just now.
Tomorrow, it will be warmer. A whole two degrees warmer. And on Friday, we might see the sun and 60 degrees, which would be a nice thing to experience in the last third of May.
