Happy Semester to All!

Brain cancer is...

 

...doing lots of really important stuff today.

So much important stuff!  We'll share just a few highlights.

We started by discussing my Fitbit sleep data for last night (above).  It's classic!  There's so much we could say about it.  Suffice it to say, the discussion was very important.

We also reviewed lessons learned from yesterday's 20-mile walk and acted upon them.  For example, Darrell selected his choice of gloves for the Super Bowl Stroll day.  

Who knew they'd be so necessary? (Well, Darrell's wife knew, but let's not dwell on that.)

Next, guess what Meridyth sent for Darrell's upcoming five-year cancerversary.

His own Fitbit! Sure, it'll be great that he can count his own mileage, but most important?  Two sets of sleep data for our morning discussions!

(And why, yes, those are new jeans he's sporting.)

We also made art together.  We're prepping for Eric Carle-style art with our favorite 15-month old.

Too, we made a nature collector for Nova to take on walks.  As a budding naturalist, she picks up leaves, rocks, and pine cones and hits carrying capacity fast. (Fun memory:  Her daddy was a big nature collector too.)

What We Did Not Do

What we did not do today was write a single syllabus, teach a single course session, launch Zoom even once, or support each other in any related activities.  Today is the first day of Andi's non-teaching semester.

While doing all the important things we did, above, we thought of you, college people!  We thought of our Titan instructor friends, who began teaching today.  We thought of Andi's students from last semester, who jumped back into it today.  We thought of all our family member and friend college students who started their terms today (or thereabouts). 

Someone needs to rid this world of ignorance, and we're so thankful it's you, loved ones!  We raise our cheers to you with full hearts:  Happy semester to all!
