Another year in the books. It's time for my favorite meme! (If you are looking for something to do, here is 2010, 2009, and 2008.)
1. UR 2010 in Review!!! What a year!
2. Choose your own adventure. Have you ever woken up from recalling a vivid dream and then had it stick with you ALL. DAY. LONG?
3. What will we lock up next? Today, driving around Conference City, I saw a car with a padlocked gas tank.
4. The machine or instrument that must DIE! Over the years, I have had many an instrument or machine nemesis.
5. Kids vs. dogs (or kid owners vs. dog owners). It occurred to me the other day that I have never seen a puppy sonogram posted as a facebook profile picture.
6. Chicken vs. eggs. I've been in a documentary state of mind.
7. Magic numbers. People say that three's a crowd, it takes two to tango, and one is the loneliest number.
8. At-bat songs for professors. Unfortunately, I've been watching a lot of baseball lately.
9. A message to all the new professors. It gets better.
10. Sorry that I don't have kids. I've recently become quite the broken record.
11. Grants require blood, sweat, and tears....and more blood? No, really.
12. Do faculty need more vacation time? When you are a professor at a PUI, you are constantly giving giving giving of yourself to your students.
I hope you can all look back on your OWN 2011 and think of it fondly. What a year!
