I wanted to read for a living and I've pretty much managed that for short periods.

a man who kept insisting he was totally in the right to a) have a pet buffalo and b) try to check into a hotel with it. It's not so much exotic (i'm from Wyoming, they're everywhere) as just entirely silly. 'Sir, you simply cannot think you are in the right here; he's too big to get into a room!'

she is afraid of livestock (she was fired from a farm, which is why I have her) but she's not afraid to assert her opinions & explain why mine are wrong.

A thing I learned about Welsh Sheepdogs, after I brought one home, is that they were bred to work independently (like go get herds on their own from great distances without supervision) so there is a lot *negotiation* in our relationship. And sometimes bullying (by her).

Let me introduce the top of her class, Good Girl Champion (who doesn't do any of her 'training' when she isn't in front of what she deems a worthy audience, and, right before this photo, pushed me into the river on her way to fetch a stick)

I think my dad tried that on my step-mom when he bought a very large motorcycle. More room for her to sit on the back, so that's like it's for her!

dinosaurs (& co) are very cool but I do think we ended up a little spoiled by how everywhere they seemed to be in that particular part of the world. 'we have to go see a triceratops agaaaain?' (that's our state dinosaur).

Wyoming was pterosaur central so we used to go hunt for fossiled prints on virtually every school or summer camp trip

This was me in March grading a set of essays and thinking 'when did this person write that? how did I miss it?' and then systematically checking every reference I didn't recognize and finding the vast majority did not exist (or linked to things like a syllabus for course taught in Maine in 2004?)

I also once learned I was on a date when he said 'fine, date's over!' and left. (this is less mean and much funnier than I can relay here, but my response was very much 'this is a date? we do this all the time?')

I used to teach at a D3 school and I had a large handful of students that were very open about only being there to play sports and I just wondered if no one had told them they were at the end of the line & might perhaps need their degrees

I've heard him speak before, and he's the kind of guy that can't help refer to his own work as 'iconic', etc. gives a lie to faux humility

this reminds me of a guy on twitter declaring his own book, that had been published 3 months before, 'field defining'--you can't that about your own work! that has existed for less than a season!
