  1. utee- I’ve had the same experience. Students reaching out saying how appreciative they are and happy to be back in school. Got a few emails and even a few handwritten notes.

    Two students I taught for their freshman and sophomore year came by today. I don’t teach them right now but will next semester. Worried that the spring will be cancelled too and that he and she won’t get to have my class (in person) next semester and I don’t teach seniors.

  2. Went to the race on Saturday.  Really meh.  But it was so fucking nice to be back at IMS and in the stands with other people.  Had me a big ol' pork tenderloin with the cooler full of beer I carried in (still one of my favorite sports traditions, being able to bring coolers in).  I strongly dislike W Power, so perhaps that's why I disliked the race.  Also was hoping Dixie could close out the championship but Josef climbed too many spots and Dixon couldn't quite catch up enough.  

    I also went to the Iowa race and took my 10yo for his first in-person race.  He loved it.  We had our radios and he brought some binoculars.  That's an awesome track there in Iowa just outside of Des Moines.  Next year we may camp there.  One cool part is that my buddy is one of the radio broadcasters for the series and during the race gave a shoutout to my son - who lost his mind when he heard that called out over the radio - "And here today cheering on Indy native conor daly are a couple friends of mine from indy, shout out to little BGS jr who's here watching his first race with his dad."

    Think there needs to be a better mask policy though. These studies coming out suggesting that the gators may actually be worse in some situations are problematic since they seem to be the most popular choice amongst players and coaches.

    I thought that was a flawed study that only tested one type of gaiter? 

  4. Fucking youtube.  Showing a video in class today to my freshmen and in the middle of a 12 min video in pops a commercial for a bra.  Fucking hell. 

    One time last week we were watching a longer video and I stepped out to go get some copies from the printer and while I was gone youtube played a 5 fucking minute commercial.  My poor freshmen just sat there and watched commercials until I got back, lol.

    switch it to sour and now we're talking.  i buy two of these bad boys at a time.  they last a few months. i can only eat 1/2 a pickle at a time, but they are glorious.

    i also jar the juice.  great to sip on after a long run.

    If it's not Best Maid it's competing for 2nd place.  I buy 5 jugs at a time when back in TX to take home to IN.  Make popsicles with the juice - you're right, it's great after a run.  A couple times when I've run out before a trip back to TX I've bought them on Amazon.  Both the dill and the sour.  

     

    Oh, and B&B pickles are the devil's dick.

  6. Our school just announced we aren't back full on Monday as planned.  Hybrid through the first quarter (Oct 23).  Sigh.  We haven't had a case in 2 weeks and right now I am not sure we even have anyone home in quarantine.  Yet, let's be sure to play all our fall sports in full, especially football which exponentially increases the number of people those boys have second-hand contact with.
