Told you I was busy

I published this post on Monday, but I'm only getting around to linking it here today. Sigh.

Feminism, Baking, and a New Muffin Recipe

All in one easy-to-read blog post, over at IHE!

storm damage

Perusing old entries, I've discovered that this blog is a useful record of past storms. So here is my Irene entry...and, for the record, we don't have power back yet and I am getting crankier by the minute about that.

This year's transition

The new semester has begun for me, but as always, not for the kids. Still, I'm reflecting on what this year's transition means, over at Inside Higher Ed...

Back to...something

I'm reflecting on work, and getting back to it (or something) over at Inside Higher Ed today...

Fourteen years

This week at Inside Higher Ed I am reflecting on a few of the changes I've seen in the last fourteen years. Why fourteen years? Because it was Nick's birthday yesterday!

Talking about the news

For some reason I felt like talking about the news in my blog post for Inside Higher Ed this week. I was grateful for the news from New York in amongst all the tragedy, but overall it was a pretty bleak weekend.

Did you miss me?

I took a few weeks off from Inside Higher Ed--and from pretty much everything else, too! Vacation was glorious, but now I'm back at work.

Summer Off? Summer Job? Or what?

Over at Inside Higher Ed's Mama PhD blog, a lot of us seem to be thinking about what summer means to us, and to our kids.

End of an Era

Nick graduates from middle school this week, but the bigger milestone is the one I blogged about at Inside Higher Ed today. (Hint: it involves a uniform.)

Transparent Teaching

Do you talk about why you do what you do in class? Do your students tell you why they're there, or what their expectations are? That's what I blogged about this week at Inside Higher Ed.

this week's milestone

Hmm. Daughter home from college, me away at workshop. What's wrong with this picture? That's what I blogged about today at Inside Higher Ed.

Apparently blogger was down

But I haven't posted in so long, I didn't notice. Still, here's something I did manage to write--I even met my deadline!

Call me crazy...

...but I kinda like April. Not everyone in academe does, though, so I blogged about it at IHE today.

Going away, coming home

I went to a conference last week, and then I came back. And then I blogged about it a little bit at IHE.

March Madness

So, you may have heard, a team from my town is in the Men's Final Four. No, it's not the Spiders (though we did make it to the Sweet Sixteen)--it's the VCU Rams. And that's actually the last thing I want to blog about today.

Spring Break #2

Mariah got home Saturday. Today it was 70 here in Richmond, while it snowed in New England--so she's enjoying her spring break so far. So am I, and that's what I'm blogging about today at IHE.

Spring?

The cherry tree outside my office has bloomed--the earliest, I believe, since I started keeping track of such things (not all that long, then...) I knew it would be out when I went into the office yesterday morning and I even remembered my camera!

And now (or within a week or two) the sprint to the end of the semester starts...

another question

Seems that lately when I link to my posts over at IHE all I have is a question. And here's another one: am I a role model?

What do I do all day?

That's my question of the week over at Inside Higher Ed...
