Six years ago today, I drove to Atlanta to attend a one-day seminar with Edward Tufte. In many ways, that class started my grad school journey because so much of what he presented ran counter to my marketing-based assumptions about how design worked.

Another milestone on my Ph.D. journey… got my first “Revise and Resubmit” today on a journal article I submitted. Most of the comments are fair and straightforward to address. Some of them are more complicated. I’ll make the changes and we’ll see what happens.

It’s not quite grilling weather, yet… but I still decided to cook out tonight.

Hiked the loop behind our house this morning, but in the opposite direction from our normal routine. It’s strange, but simply reversing the route was a very different experience. Also explored a nature preserve nestled between the old golf course and some subdivisions.

Enjoyed my son’s honors elementary orchestra concert. Pretty amazing these kids have been playing for less than a year.

Sadly, Facebook and Twitter are still very useful to check on friends after mass shootings. Praying for Michigan State.

Beautiful day on campus today.

Tried out a new trail on our Sunday morning walk.

Excited for the big game today… No, not the Super Bowl. #1 South Carolina vs #3 LSU. Last two unbeaten teams in women’s college basketball meet in Columbia in front of a sold out crowd of 18,000. Game tips at 2:00 on ESPN. 🏀

Hey @futuregeek. What do you think?
