Another "cheat": make sure available cliffs are under 5' - 2' if you're fragile.

I know the feeling. Generally acting on it does not work well. Sorry to be a downer.

The whole point is to break complicated functions into a form where the pieces have easier integrals than the un-reduced function.

I saw it in the Fox Theater in Detroit shortly after the restoration of the building. That movie in a 1920's room designed to look like a tent in the desert. Flawless!

My impression was you just wanted to be removed from committees. With tenure, you can be an ass and accomplish that then retreat to your office in disgrace and close the door. Tragic.

Do you have tenure? I bet a quarter those Columbia deans were external hires and did not get a tenured faculty position along with the job.

I quit knitting in meetings when I moved from faculty to admin for exactly that reason. Rather I pity as I listen better when I knit.

Do you get how those of us who have lived here for a while might not appreciate your "taking over" attitude? We are welcoming but this does not make it easy.

If you are going for a reference to, "The revolution will not be televised.", I'm 60, an academic, and pretty aware and had to think about it.

Katey Sagal got her start as a back up singer to Bette Midler. One of her "three favorite tchotchkes on the breakfront of life".

I read that as "under hyphenated". I pointed right at the hyphen in "eighth-sheet" in indignation.

Try standing in front of "The Night Watch" as long as it took Rembrandt to paint it. I guarantee you will have some testy conversations with the guards.

And give a little interest to the front facade. I do agree with other comments that it needs some decorative element to tie it in.

And the peak across the front looks like a way to get most of the porch under cover without extending the existing roof line down to waist height. Actually pretty clever design.
