H and I went to an aquarium and a butterfly garden today. Both were really cool. Here's a couple pics:

I don't have the first idea how to rest, it seems.
I'm still feeling drained after yesterday, even though it wasn't a big deal.

It was fun watching people trying to decide whether to join in the outdoor yoga in the park this morning - the humidity and heat has broken here so a lot more people are out but it is also quite cloudy with rain predicted. groups would come over with their mats and spend a bit of time looking up at the sky. About half didn't risk it. So far no rain.

Surely if you're the kind of person who enjoys outdoor yoga then weather shouldn't make much of a difference? I mean, I'd draw the line at thunderstorms and torrential downpours....but practising in light rain wouldn't make much of a difference.

I have been helping some college freshmen move into their dorms this week - it is a very very good thing that I do not teach undergrads

I hope your classes went well, @@. How lovely that your mom was thinking of and celebrating you. You get to decide when (or whether) to open the gift, whether it's on this birthday or the next one...or another special day or a random day when you just know it's time.

I am fairly certain faculty taking pictures of unrelated 18 yr olds and their stuff is a little creepy. I am creeped out just thinking about it.

Not a requirement but it counts for service (the president has gotten all in a wad about faculty not engaging with the university bs) and it was less boring than going to convocation and less likely to get me struck by lightening than going to the opening mass. I mostly spent time comforting the parents by reminding them almost all the students figure out what to do and their kid would probably be okay if they would simply go away and let the kid have a chance to prove they are less doofy than they looked. Just generally offering detached succor and reassurance.

Like a down duvet on a chilly winter morning.

Or a hot chocolate laced with whiskey after a long day on the ski slopes.

Have you ever had a coma-inducer comforter? I have one and it's awesome! I can't wait for it to be winter again.

Nope, michigan and canada. Im incompatible with down sleepingbags. Down comforter? Ha, tell it to the ducks! Just give me some old fashioned wool, or spun petroleum products.

I like wool too but it is often pretty heavy if backpacking. Down is not fun if it gets wet -but I do like the warmth from my grandmother's old duvet. I need wool, down, and battery warmed gloves and socks to go to michigan even in the summer

I respect honesty. If you don't care about someone, don't act like you do. This is why I don't trust people. Pretending to be something you're not. Mocking them behind their back because they trusted you...

Yes, mocking young people and their parents who are scared and unsure doesn't reflect well on elders. Where is our humility and compassion when we can't understand that some people are less sure-footed than we are? I am so tired of encountering other people's hard exteriors. Give us all a break. Everyone is vulnerable and has tender points, even those whose egos depend on presenting otherwise. Quite apart from anything else, it's incurious to only have capacity for those like us. It's a really limited approach to life.

It's called having a job and working. With people. The people can be the hardest part of the job.
