January 30, 2017 8188 Today was taxing.  Attending to international student concerns and well-being following a weekend in which an ambiguous Presidential order on immigration created so many issues and questions… An afterwork meeting added to the day’s length and I arrived home close to 8:00.

January 10, 2017 7798 Living in a fishbowl – closeup shot of a glass bowl of corks we keep on a kitchen shelf. The waiter cork-topper was floating in the center and it reminded me of a child in a ball pit, only a little odder.  I got home late
