Academic dress is a strange and intriguing thing (and *someone* must have studied it, right?!). One of the profs in my new program wears a fanny pack everywhere, or at least every setting I've ever seen him: academic conference, panel...

I was sitting in my office giggling about pro-choice for chickens when the kids asked me to explain and I brushed it off as something too ridiculous to understand. Hugs to everyone who needs them. I've had a busy week, but did make it...
