The faculty lounge. I'm just happy my office has windows.

If you have a small drawer in your home, and a lot tea, what is stopping you from making a Tea Library? Possibly my greatest kitchen innovation. (Helps to have someone in your household who enjoys organizing small things)

Is Mishmash named after this dog?

Thousands showed up for #NoKings in SYR. Biggest protest I’ve ever seen here
