Tapestry episode of #STNG on H&I this evening. Geordi asks Picard for a statistical analysis! If only UNL understood that stats are important in the 24th century...

Visited the new tennis facility in Manhattan, KS today: 8 courts open to the public at no cost! Why can't #LNK do the same?

Birthday cake/pie this year is an apricot pie from Stauffers. Not sure why the A was needed on it. Maybe it stands for "adjunct".

Moving into our South House today. We only have one chair right now. Maybe we could put a blanket down on the floor and have a picnic for dinner this evening.

My kids really need to learn about Phil. At what age do leftovers become desirable because they are easier to make for a meal?

LilK and I practiced tennis today at my high school alma mater Millard South. The courts are open to the public and in great shape. #LNK public schools could learn from this if they want to encourage more of their students to play tennis.

LilC is playing bball for Southeast this summer. Against Westside yesterday, he played at the 5 (natural position is at the 3) and was matched up sometimes against Westside's 6'8" Creighton 2027 recruit. This player couldn't drive past LilC, but nothing could be done about his fade away jumper.

In 2026, I am leaving Nebraska for the same reasons as in 1994. Now, I will be a Professor in the Department of Statistics at Kansas State University! As my kids would say after hitting a winner in tennis, “Let’s go!”

LilK had a tennis tournament in Salina, KS over the weekend, so we decided to drive through Manhattan on our way back to #LNK. Here’s a pic of us visiting where my office will be in the fall: Dickens Hall at K-State! @kstate.bsky.social

Just paid $11.75 to watch LilC's club basketball game in Council Bluffs. I miss the days when I could watch him play a Y basketball game for free at a local middle school.

Congrats to #LNK #NorthStar boys track with their state title! Overall for North Star athletics this year: 2 state titles and 2 2nd place finishes. Amazing year considering it had 0 state titles and 2 2nd place finishes prior to this year since its opening in 2003.

Basic maintenance gets overlooked by a university after your department has been eliminated. This door leading into the department has been like this for a couple of weeks. #unl #LNK #huskers #nebraska
