Because if there is, I may not be doing it right.

The mother-in-law made some muppet gourds for Thanksgiving (?)!
Why is LinkedIn trying to get me to commit suicide so early in the morning?
I started dating this fellow nine years ago today (I also ran the best race of my cross country career, but some would argue the former is a more important milestone…). We foolishly got married 8 days before our “dating anniversary,” making this one even more obsolete than dating anniversaries usually become once you put a ring on it, but I thought I’d acknowledge it anyway. He’s a pretty good guy! It’s been a pretty good nine years!
[this photo is neither of us on our anniversary nor was it taken nine years ago, but, it’s pretty representative of every picture of us ever taken: him looking slightly bemused/resigned, and me pretending I have a human-mouth-sized mouth…]
I was explaining to my students what a debutante ball is, and was trying to think of TV shows that had used them as plot points…The OC, Gossip Girl, Gilmore Girls, etc…
The kids stared at me blankly.
Eventually one kid tentatively raised his hand: “What’s Gilmore Girls?”

I was here a week ago!
(I knew my pictures would be boring, but it’s a little shocking just how boring they actually are. Still! Trust me—rural Kenya is much prettier than Brooklyn!)
