The Baltimore oriole -- or, as RJ says, the Baltimore whoreo -- showed up, finally. I graded a gazillion things today. Three days left in the semester that has felt like it was 17 years long. But oriole! #BirdSky #birds #oriole #spring #Michigan

I think people need to get rid of the idea of a “return to normal” whatever that even means. The political and economic situation of the world with climate change getting worse is not going to be less chaotic

Some loveliness from the yard today -- like the tiniest daffs (muscari for scale 😉). The Merlin app and I picked up 47 different birds in or near the backyard, bringing the total since March 4 to 87 -- crazy! #BirdSky #birding #GardenSky #gardening #gratitude

I potted pansies, violas, and sweet alyssum today and will need a bucket of Aleve tomorrow. Those 10 pots are in front of the brick. I put together the five pots in the fourth photo on Saturday. They live on the back patio near a chipmunk that likes to rearrange them.

I'm not here nearly as much as I want to be. Now that hockey season is over -- college hockey, for those of you who don't know me well -- I'm going to make more of an effort. I love this community. I'll be trying to post weekly on Substack, too. These last 15 months have just been ... a lot.

Why, yes -- I *do* sometimes take a break from grading to do a little writing. Why do you ask?

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists
