A little more of the springtime atmosphere:
Just a few quick snapshots from the walk into the office:
It’s only a one-block walk:
I thought I’d sport a new look today:
If we had a family crest the crab would be on it somewhere, I’m sure. Since we don’t, I’ll just go with accessories.
On #IUDay, let me brag on some people.@IUSTV's @btownfastclub — hosted by @julianna_merry and @GBailenson and produced by @BryceReifdotcom and @pdieterlen — just earned top show honors from @IASB_Indiana.#StudentMedia

Let me tell you about @M_Struewing14. She works on about four shows, anchoring, reporting, writing promos. She was a finalist in the @SPJRegion5 Mark of Excellence awards for a feature story about a circus school. @IUSTV @iustvnews #IUDay #StudentMedia 3/6 pic.twitter.com/evfbFjQlxe

These people, all the @IUSTV crews, all work hard. They have classes, jobs and lives, but they go into the field, into edit bays, the control room and the studio to learn their craft. Student media – of any variety, at every school – is special. #IUDay #StudentMedia 6/6 pic.twitter.com/vDACSrXEJj

This evening IU softball hosted Purdue for a doubleheader. It was faculty and staff appreciation night. As a part of that the players were asked to select a person who makes a big impact on their time on campus. So the starting catcher, Bella Norton, nominated The Yankee:
Norton went 3-6 on the night and the Hoosiers split the double-dip. She’s a fine catcher, commands the field as a fiery competitor and she works with a terrific all-conference caliber pitcher. Also, I had her in class last year, which was a good deal of fun. But The Yankee got the autograph tonight.
For three days in a row the air around us has given us hints of spring.
That’s called a winning streak.
Maybe in three or four more weeks we’ll be able to confidently say the condition has stuck.
Television:
One day, when the world slows down and I don’t have things to do or places to be, I’m going to do a study of leaves.
I’m going to pick a branch and mark it, somehow.
And then I’m going to take a picture of it each day, from buds until leaf drop. I’m going to do a study of a leaf.
That’s my plan.
