On the Friday before Spring Break and on what should have been a snow day, I’m here in the building with our beloved custodians. #CustodiansOfStudentSuccess

I saw a butterfly on my run today. Today is the 19th anniversary of my Dad's passing. There aren't supposed to be butterflies in February in Flagstaff, but I saw one today!

Finally got my copy! Here’s another piece no one will ever read, but read it now before it’s banned.

Celebrated 15 years as an employee at Northern Arizona University, though I've been t/here for 25 years (the other years were as a student, GTA, and Adjunct Instructor). Congrats to the others who celebrated 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years. Yay for longevity.

Have y'all seen "Michelle Buteau: A Buteau-ful Mind At Radio City Music Hall" on @netflix.com yet? I was there, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get a good screenshot of Katy and me in the audience.

Tonight’s cocktail is a prickly pear margarita. I rarely use a margarita glass, but why not?

Another non-margarita night. These are passion fruit daiquiris. Salud!

According to my FB memories, I created this meme 11 years ago. It still makes me laugh. Also, Cantinflas was once called the Mexican Charlie Chaplin, and Chaplin said, "No, I'm the English Cantinflas."

A meme that says, "If Charlie Chaplin and Cantinflas kissed, their mustaches wouldn't touch." Chaplin has a small mustache under his nose covering his philtrum, whereas Cantinflas has mustache hairs outside his philtrum.

Tonight’s margaritas are made with honey simple syrup and some sprinkles of Chimayo sun-dried red chile powder. Also use the good tequila, y”all!!! These have Cascahuín blanco.
