Enjoyed attending FFLA today. Long but good!

Being asked to return to my alma mater as an invited guest was a highlight of my career thus far.

@MelindaPerle Oh! Fried or steamed dumplings! I want to learn to make those. Spring rolls? Sushi?

[Tam Caudill @tbcaudill]

@MelindaPerle Omelettes?

@no_good_wyfe @cakrolik Because I can’t help myself, if you’re cooking an article, don’t forget Le Cygne. Proud to boast no Reviewer #2’s!

@no_good_wyfe @cakrolik This seems like a crime.

Was happy to join the virtual apéro for AATF-FL tonight. It’s lonely to be a sole faculty member in French.

Last three paragraphs killed me.

Amazing article from a WVU alum on the travesty unfolding there.

It feels like the people who make the mistakes are never the ones who are punished. https://t.co/Oa1R6adHvz

The discourse re: WVU:

NYT: "humanities are dying! how much money should universities put into these dying relics?"

Slate: "um... world languages instruction is literally profitable?"

[Tam Caudill @tbcaudill]

Friday the first week of classes is always such a relief!

[ACTFL @actfl]

ACTFL condemns WVU's recommendation to cut to all WL courses & majors. This decision will disadvantage WVU grads in today's multilingual job market & could have a negative impact on WV K12 programs. We urge WVU leadership to reverse course & keep WL at WVU.https://t.co/J5cxuptwCV

Every year, I make my New Year’s resolutions in August.

They are no more effective then than they would have been in January!
