All those hours of tossing the football in the yard paid off this morning as Bennett started at QB in his first ever flag football game and dropped this dime for a touchdown! @espn @DilfersDimes @SportsCenter

@clientsfh @sarah_sheriff just thinking of our conversation yesterday! 😂

While our editorial team turned out a number of targeted articles for the web on COVID-19 responses, I took on crafting a comprehensive piece for the magazine. A challenging but rewarding endeavor!

When the #coronavirus closed college campuses and pivoted students into remote instruction, Dickinsonians took creative measures to stay engaged virtually: https://t.co/pOxqVtjkbC.

Who need Pandora? Today my coworker performed the entire Kids Bop repertoire. All day. A cappella. With falsetto and the occasional accompanying dance move. #PandemicParenting

@Mer_Barnett @DickinsonCol Totally! Also noted that my tweet said “had” when it should be “has” — the mermaid is still very much there! (Though it’s actually a replica on the roof and the original on display in the library for preservation and theft prevention, but that’s a whole nother story!)

Reached the epitome of multitasking today — while on the phone discussing details of a project with a colleague, I removed my shoe and squashed a giant spider that was crawling along the wall. Replaced my shoe and never missed a beat on the call. #worklife

@andrewcareaga @donnatalarico I get rid of “currently” a Iot—currently working at, currently studying, etc.

Even with #editing, sometimes less is more. Learn about the power of white space from @RoyPeterClark​. https://t.co/aQxQYeD7SA #amediting #lessismore #formatting

I get to do some fun, collaborative, creative work at @DickinsonCol, and it's pretty awesome when that work gets recognized by outside organizations! @thelanepress @AMCP_Awards @Hermes_Awards

@TwoDots Love the addition of the daily quests as another way to earn rewards and something to work toward. But why launch piñata parties, expeditions and hunt rewinds at the same time?! Can’t play all three at once! Spread them out please!

Me: ok bud, time to turn off the tv and get yourself ready to leave for school!

7yo: *hold remote out with finger on the power button for 30 seconds*

Me: Now!

7yo: OK! *turns off tv, picks up lightsaber and initiates imaginary battle*

Me: How is that getting ready to leave?!
