Taking my first outdoor swings of the year

Tennis today: both teams wore white jerseys with small red logos on upper left side

The Parade of Athletes at the Olympics reminds me of #StargateSG1. Will the Goa'uld be coming out of the stargate too? I hope they have an iris!

LilC's first time running out with the varsity bball team

LilC got a jersey to play on varsity bball team for the first time! The team was then upset by 19 points and everyone had their jerseys taken away

Removed the "Education Matters" sign from my front lawn today. I plan to keep it so that I can put it back up in a couple years when it is needed again. The sign just may not have much meaning outside of Nebraska.

Listening to 90s music while doing a drive that I did hundreds of times in the 90s!

One year since we became a 3 EV family with the addition of the #Chevy #EquinoxEV! I really like the car, but still wish I could use Android Auto with it from my phone. Never will go back to an ICE car. This is a pic from one year ago--it's too cold outside to take a new pic today.

Good day for LilK in Grand Island

Visited #LNK Standing Bear High School this week; they help their students decide between basketball or swimming teams

I hope my next university has warmer offices.

I am proud to say that I have retained the skills of being the "puke parent" between @kimberlypb.bsky.social and me. I am the parent who can clean up our kids puke without getting sick! I was put to the test this evening for the first time in a long time.

LilK and I attended our first Nebraska athletic event since early September. It's free to attend tennis. We were there to help him learn how to play tennis better, not to root for UNL.

Soup buffet from The Parthenon in #LNK. Opa!

25th tennis racquet strung since purchased a racquet stringer 1-year ago. Strung LilC's #Carve AdTouch 97 at 52lbs using #Toroline's new #O-Toro Octa string.

Just finished watching "The Metrics" seminar again to prep for a presentation that I will give at another university about the faulty data, analyses, and conclusions used by UNL to eliminate 4 departments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUk2... #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK /1

AMSTAT News article "University of Nebraska Regents Vote to Eliminate Statistics Department" provides more details about what happened at UNL @amstatnews.bsky.social @srvanderplas.bsky.social magazine.amstat.org/blog/2026/01...

LilC and I hit today. Notice almost all of the balls are on my side of the court. This is not a good sign for me.

First tennis racquet strung in 2+ months: my Pro Kennex with O-TORO at 48 pounds. Maybe I can turn this into a new career?! #LNK

Since I was in #Omaha today, I visited Westwood Golf Course, the course where I learned how to play golf, for some putting practice.

Visited #MillardNorth for the first time in almost 40 years; LilC had a bball game

Symbolic: Save Our Stats logo is disappearing from the department's conference room

#Lego aisle at #LNK #Target a few days before Christmas

It's strange that #UNL wants faculty in eliminated departments to put together annual performance review documents for themselves. My plans for next year simply say "find a new job". #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK

This is what could have been at #UNL rather than eliminating departments. The Regents would not take the time to examine it. #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK thebugeater.com/board-of-reg...

Please get the word out about the U. of Nebraska-Lincoln Department of Statistics @biometricsociety.org.au

Friends of Stats: The U. of Nebraska-Lincoln Department of Statistics needs your help. The university's Chancellor submitted a FINAL proposal today for budget cuts (budgetprocess.unl.edu/final-budget...) that eliminates the department. 1/ #LNK #Nebraska #Huskers @amstatnews.bsky.social

The UNL Academic Planning Committee (APC) report was released late Friday. There is no direct link to it from the APC or UNL web page, so here it is budgetprocess.unl.edu/sites/unl.ed.... #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK @journalstar.com @owhnews.bsky.social 1/

The evening sun is nicely illuminating the Stop Cuts at UNL Now sign on my freshly cut lawn #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK

Took LilK out trick-or-treating this evening. I like it when the house provides candy for the parent. I got something different this year: a free drink token for a local bar

LilC has learned how to spell and use punctuation while a student at North Star; picture is from State Cross Country today where the Gators placed 2nd

I just created a new subfolder in the main research folder of my computer. The subfolder name: "BudgetProcessPaper". I don't want to write it.
