Saturday, September 14, 2019: basketball tournament; two soccer matches, one in 102 degrees and another 104 degrees; snow cones; and art.

I worked so hard to buy this when I was 10 years old that I can’t bring myself to get rid of it even now.

All these movies came out in 1994, meaning each turns 25 this year. That also makes them older than all the students I currently teach. When I was a first year, movies that were 25 years old came out in 1965. That didn’t seem so long ago to me then but it does now! Reality Bites (Feb. 18); The Lion King (June 15); Forrest Gump (July 6); Shawshank Redemption (Sept. 23); Pulp Fiction (Oct. 14); The Professional (Nov. 18); Dumb and Dumber (Dec. 16)

Office cleaned, syllabi copied, and class websites done. Bring on the fall semester!

49 years ago today. #chicanomoratorium #eastLA #vietnam #chicana #chicano

While walking on campus today I saw a falcon drinking from a puddle. It was the size of a small turkey and it let me take its picture before flying away.
