- It seems as if we have been three weeks from the end of the semester for an eternity. It truly will never end.
- We’re doing several faculty searches, which has me looking toward the future and what this place should look like.
- The quality of applications suggests that we have turned a corner at Texas Tech.
- It’s exciting that really good people want to be here.
- My office is once again a complete wreck. It’s embarrassing that I have three desks covered several inches deep in papers and books.
- I really enjoy my colleagues. I feel lucky to work in a great place.
- They call Twitter microblogging, and it has certainly harmed my macroblogging.
- Thanksgiving is scheduled at a really annoying time.
- Data analysis always beats writing. Unless, of course, that writing is blogging.
- My life was better before Facebook and MySpace.
- I wish that my e-mail would go into a secret folder on my BlackBerry so that I could see it when I wanted to without being forced to deal with it.
- I’m not going into the office today. First Saturday in as long as I can remember.
- I will still be working from home.
- I’m the happiest I have been in late November in as long as I can remember.
- No matter how great your kids and spouse, you can eventually test their patience with consecutive 12 hour days.
- You’ve been working too much when your four-year-old asks you if you’ve been out-of-town.
- I have no idea what I want to teach in Fall 2009. It may seem silly, but I have to decide relatively soon, and I am completely conflicted.
- My wife and I are long overdue to go out to dinner alone.
- Long overdue.
- We’ve had dinner along like once in the past year.
- I’m nostalgic for K-State football and Indiana basketball.
- Despite the fact that both sucked/will suck this year.
- A week from now, I will be in New Mexico, which is one of the best parts of living in Lubbock.

Recently I stopped Twittering.
Also unsubscribed to all listserv activity that I haven’t read in at least the last 2 months.
My inbox is emptier, my blood pressure lower.
Also removed CNN, ESPN, AEJMC and the Chronicle from my homepage…four less tempting clicks to keep me from important stuff.
