My cousin, FaceTiming me: as the resident family nerd, you gotta be on call to answer science questions. Me: ok what’s up? Cousin: how long do you have to stare at the eclipse before you go blind? Me: don’t look at it at all! It’ll cause damage! Cousin: too late

Post holiday and SICB wins for this week: 1- I took a whole day of rest bc conferences and traveling make me sleepy 2- I got one email inbox down from 154 to 19 3- I paid 3 bills and deposited a check 4- I got my proposal draft comments down from 165 to 24 HECK YEAH! And it’s only Tuesday!

Using the stair master at the gym is just the adult version of running up the down escalator
