I really need to learn to read because I have just been sipping away at this bourbon that’s apparently 60% alcohol.

People will really click all the little buttons in SPSS, and then make the wildest claims.

A man just told me that I’m too sexy to be a librarian. I’m sorry, friends, but I must abandon the profession immediately.

@xoxoMattyBoy I think I’ll invent a portable one that fits in a backpack—so, anywhere I go I will have proper lighting.

What a fantastic show of leeks at the North East of England Show at the Beamish Museum. I have no doubt this will take over as one of the top shows up the north.

I don’t really wear sneakers, but I just got a used pair of New Balance 550s, and like this is what feet can feel like?

@miriamkp I am freaking out—grandkids in middle&high-school! I bought them each a copy of “what color is your parachute (for teens)” and a really silly pencil case.

@miriamkp Yes to in-class drafting!! have been thinking of ways to downsize syllabi—and wonder if giving students a selected bibliography might help. Reduce the time they spend researching and perhaps get them to the writing stage sooner?

@ZoeAliceMpls I’ve made a habit of using soap ever since I saw black light pics of hands washed with it and without it.

@miriamkp Nobody cares. But I DO think libraries should exert pressure on database vendors towards open-source (Zotero) citation interoperability. Still hoping Readex/Newsbank will communicate with Zotero! Somehow the dynamic is: Zotero needs to update their translator!

@xoxoMattyBoy Yes! This is a time-suck but I have reframed it as an inspiration to check out new books in my library.

I’ve always loved PubMed. The Marxism just makes it better.

@miriamkp Oh, that’s a great use of this insurance! I keep wondering “why am I paying for this” but now I have a good reason!

@xoxoMattyBoy I do think you would enjoy Chicago—especially lower Wacker drive! (My boys called it “green city” and it was their favorite route.)And there’s excellent public transportation. Lots of tunnels.

I feel like it would be fun to move to Chicago to become a Cubs fan
