Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It’s starting to feel like spring here in North Dakotaland with the waters receding and the trees showing just a tiny bit of green. It should be a mild weekend perfect for a walk with the dogs, some Formula 1 racing, and the NASCAR kids at Talladega. 

It’s also a perfect weekend for some late semester grading and reading with the windows open. I need to think up my summer reading list, get stuff together for a couple summer study seasons, and decide whether the buy a bunch of mulch before heading to points east.
