Checking in one last time. It's been a long time, and a great time and I made a lot of friends here, found a new career here, shared love and losses here, and learned so much about compassion and friendship. You know how to find me so I won't say goodbye; that's an exit line I try not to use. With love and light, be well.

Big bag of yukon golds, milk approaching sell-by date, all kinds of cheese + me being hungry = homemade potato tacos for brunch.

My dad listened to a lot of jazz in the 60's, my mom listened to a lot of Motown, folk, classical, and soul. I grew up on 80's golden age hip hop and 90's gangsta rap, but I'll be damned if one of my favorite albums of all time isn't Paul Simon's debut solo album. #SaturdayFF

I guess there was that Top 40 pop triumvirate of Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Prince from the 80's too. Thanks, MTV. - Derrick

I spent the evening with two lovely cats on my lap, (and watching Frozen!) but when I wanted another brownie, or needed to top off my sangria, I pushed them to the floor. #sorrynotsorry #SaturdayFF

I was mad as hell because as I rounded the corner, the bus was pulling away from the curb (and I'll be damned if I run for a bus). But by the time the next one came, I'd forgotten about it and now I'm in a good mood. Pleasantries!

Roast chicken and a big green salad for dinner, because roast chicken on a Sunday is always perfect, and a big green salad because it's 82F and the idea of something really starchy gives me the vapors. Mini portion of ice cream for dessert? Hrm.

The provost of the university is having the big faculty recognition dinner and I need to RSVP. Part of me is curious and wants to go; part of me is intimidated? It's fancy, at the National Press Club, high class invites and while I've worked hard to get here, part of me is like...do I *belong* here? Trying to make sense of it all, I guess.
