What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? White cotton gloves are not for use with paper-based books. We use them for some photographs and artifacts, but for handling “regular” rare books the professional standard has been clean, dry hands for decades.

I've been trying to reflect on the loss of my mother (one year ago), and struck by the fact that grief is both frustratingly abstract and intensely concrete.

I've been loving my new truck. I guess as long as I don't put a gun rack in the cab it'll be ok.

Europe: where cars are tiny and strollers are enormous. Where breads and pastries are delicious, but you can’t get ice water. Where there is less gun violence but also less respect for personal space.

A $20M "home" in the middle of nowhere Utah. Stunning views. Replica Enchanted Tiki Room, Star Wars themed 65-person theater, etc. A Disneyland house that's really just a hotel by any other name -- doesn't seem very cozy.

This beautiful binding around a 16th-century miscellaneous work (R5A15277) is sure to be appreciated – figuratively speaking – by bibliophiles. And it was apparently enjoyed – literally – by bookworms. #rarebooks #tomorrowsresearch

Anyone out there have Type 1 diabetes and have issues with using Dexcom G7s? These seem to be failing too often (unlike the G6s).

When I started in my current position, there were 12 faculty in my department. In that time we’ve had 7 retirements and two deaths. We’ll see at least 2 retirements in the next two years and it’s looking like we’ll end up with 8-9 faculty as lines have not been renewed.

I love my students! And my colleagues! And I hate how few raises I’ve received in my decade-plus of working with them all!

The older I get the more I realize there's a Blake poem for just about every situation in my life.
