Mrs. Delarocker has read > 170 books so far in 2024. I absolutely love how deeply she can dive into whatever world/topic she's reading about. She is the most interesting person I know.

@FunnLaughter1 - how did it go talking about teachers in film? Really curious what your students thought.

My youngest has been officially diagnosed as schizophrenic, so Mrs. Delarocker naturally bought them a cake to celebrate.

A campus haiku: An early morning. Fog lingers, then melts away. Tahoma rising.

Sunrise from my office. SMU News #nofilter

The copyedits for my book have arrived. This is the last chance I'll have to make any changes, and it's simultaneously liberating and terrifying.

Today’s office music.

These pictures of 20, who is an actor and is currently in a professional production of Camelot. The boy does enjoy the limelight.

Mrs. Delarocker took 2/3 Delarocker offspring to the Washington State Fair today. Highlights included spending way too much money on greasy food and calling a friend on an actual pay phone.

Pleased to announce that I have been awarded the Educational Stewardship Award by the Global Teachers Assembly (GTA). GTA is an international organization based in Nigeria, dedicated to creating professional development networks for teachers in Africa and beyond.

Mrs. Delarocker got up early this morning and headed out. She just sent me this picture. Apparently, she’s taking a kickstart motorcycle class so she and I can ride together. If that’s not true love, then I don’t know what is or what is.

My day: grading, finishing up a book chapter, and starting new grant applications. Mrs. Delarocker's day: morning motorcycle class followed by tattoo appointment. One of us is clearly a bad ass.

20 got me a spur of the moment comp ticket to his show. It’s soooooooo good.

I saw five different cyber trucks on the road today, I’m curious about how I should interpret this omen.

Just went to take the dog for a walk. Got halfway down the block and realized I had forgotten the dog. Had to go back and get him. How’s your Sunday going?

Prototyping a LEGO triptych. Like ya do.

Just played Brian McKnight’s “Back at One” for Mrs. Delarocker, and it turns out that that she is immune to the powers of late 90s R&B. Married for 27 years, and I don’t even know this stranger by my side.

Friends, my dept. is hiring an executive assistant. If you know someone in the south Puget Sound area looking for an entry level job, fantastic colleagues, and a view of Mt. Rainier, send them my way! workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default…
