The last week or so has been full with athletic events, supporting student events, and performances. Oh, and moving. 😁 I consider myself blessed to get to live and work where I do.

Beautiful drive through the pass on the way to Denver this morning.

We’re getting snow! I’ve been told we haven’t had a storm like this in a couple of years. Go home, Minnesota weather - you’re drunk. This is also a good time to tell everyone “you’re right, we shouldn’t have left the snow shovels behind.”

Traffic jam on the way to work this morning.

VP days/weeks are not short. It’s important to be present to support students and colleagues. Today started with a Discovery Day, then off to lacrosse and track/field and now student-directed plays. #vpsa #studentaffairs #studentlife

Long ride back home to Alamosa but I get mountains all the way. My spirit has missed the mountains - there will never be a time they don’t inspire awe in me.

Spending the morning at the capitol before a day of meeting with the Board of Trustees.

@johnsenrm @BNBuzz Not yet. But I took a screenshot of your pile of books to add to my reading list. 🙂

[Savala DeVoge @SavalaSmith]

@johnsenrm @BNBuzz I just finished The Sanatorium. Great book!

Fun night with basketball at home (my ideal way to finish out my first week).

@LakotaMan1 @Yorkiegolfer I think even the loudest naysayers comprehend that this is actual history. It’s shame/embarrassment or the feeling that this was okay (and still is) that keeps those people from just owning it. We need to own our shit.

[Savala DeVoge @SavalaSmith]

@LakotaMan1 @angie_karan I understand and support hunting for food. But just for trophy/sport? Gag.
