A few years ago in a galaxy … well, in this galaxy to be honest … productivity would have exclusively meant analyzing data, writing a publication, grading papers, or doing something else school/work related.

The sun is shining. There’s a small breeze. It would just be another day in Florida if Hurrican Irma weren’t making her way north.
I set a pretty big goal for myself for next June: biking the Gaspé. The most recent estimate I saw of its length is 900 km. That’s 559 miles if we end up doing the full loop. (Still in question.)

Yesterday I offered my first yoga for educators class. My inaugural class of people who aren’t my friends. (Well, some of them are work friends, but still a little different.)Read More »Yoga for Educators
