Management Women of ASU

Every December, Amy treats the women of the PhD program to lunch at House of Tricks. It's such a great tradition, and one of the few times we are all together in a social setting. This year was bittersweet, since it would be the last women's lunch for Christy and me.

This year, I gave everyone handmade ornaments since I was obsessing over them. Amy O. is holding hers in the photo.

I Know My Coke

One of the professors has an evening class on the same night I teach. This week, she'd done a cola taste test, so invited me to take it when we were both back to our offices after the class sessions. This was high stress--what if diet coke was hidden in one of the well-masked, cap-switched liter bottles--and I got it wrong?! So, I sniffed and sipped and filled out my ballot... 1) Coke, 2) Pepsi, 3) Other. 3/3!!! (The other was RC Cola.)

New Location for Dog Park

Since the Anthem Community council wouldn't put a dog park in place, Anthem Pets found land in New River. The board was interviewed by an Anthem Independent reporter...Angie and I were the only ones willing to pose for the photo. With luck, we will have a new dog park in October at the site of Jackass Acres.

Note that I am wearing my Herbivore "Keep Smiling" T!
