@pamelabb Yep. At least two schools virtual today, apparently.

Got the call early this morning that my daughter’s school is virtual today because a large number of teachers called in sick late last night. I’m sure the board meeting last night where they refused to deal with rising COVID numbers had nothing to do with that.

@thestate And Chapin High School is virtual today because they don’t have enough staff.

@ForrestClonts I could go along with that. I love IG-11. I thought about Bo-Katan or some of the other Mandalorians, too.

@kerryrm I agree. It’s been fun to see all these stories weave together.

The A-Team, but in the Star Wars universe… Mando, Ahsoka, Cara Dune and Grogu go from planet to planet fighting for the little guy.

@zoovaldes Way over my paygrade 🤣

Boba Fett’s armor. The staff. This season, the Mandalorian has collected enough Beskar for a tiny suit of armor. Hmmmm….

So impressed by the new episode of The Mandalorian that released this morning.

I ordered a book from Amazon yesterday afternoon. It arrived via USPS today — on Thanksgiving. And while that’s impressive and all… I’d prefer that postal workers NOT deliver packages on holidays. They deserve a day off, too.

Even though it’s just the five of us, I’m pretty sure we made more food than we usually do.

@stephpendrys YES!!! Love some Jake and Elwood.

Which is easier: Winning the lottery or landing a new Xbox or Playstation?

@kerryrm You aren’t the crazy one, but I know how you feel. We’re celebrating at home with our crew. Lots of people we know are going forward with the normal plans.

I missed basketball season.

Happy 9th birthday, Ryan. instagram.com/p/CH_r4WVHJbm/…

@zoovaldes Right now, that’s the plan. Although I have no idea how long it will take me. 😀

I’m sad that this was an online only semester. I would have loved to get to know all of the new Ph.D students hanging around the grad suite. And I miss running into @DenetraWalker, @demozie, @CLaurenMyers, @CarmenLandy5 and everybody else.

Today, I wrapped up my final class of my Masters degree. I’ve got to finish my thesis next semester, but no more classes.

In class and @stephpendrys mentions Gross Pointe, Michigan and all I can think of is the movie… t.co/szoJqzpjt…

Sometimes, you wake up at 4 am and decide to rewrite a massive chunk of something you’ve been working on all semester.

@JackClaypoole It is gorgeous out this afternoon.

I’m not sure why it’s taken so long for me to embrace working in my backyard.

I remain impressed with @UofSC’s COVID testing. I took my test yesterday afternoon and got my (negative) result this morning. Students, faculty and staff… there’s no reason not to get tested before Thanksgiving.
