Cute Kids Weekend

It's been a brutally busy couple of weeks here, what with reading folders for the job searches we have going on, trying to keep on top of my class, and multiple day-care closings for the Jewish holidays. But the kids are still very cute, as you can see from the above caricatures of The Pip as Pooh and SteelyKid as a Lego construction worker. These were done by Rich Conley who does caricatures at LT's Grill in Niskayuna on Tuesday nights, which probably explains what we're doing for dinner for Tuesdays in perpetuity...

We're off to Scenic Whitney Point for a bit (after kid soccer, that is), and I need to make up an exam, read another batch of job applications, and try to get something in the queue for the next topics in my relativity class. So, don't expect much blogging or other social media from me for the next little while. But, here: Cute-kid cartoons!

It has been astonishing to me how so many member of the two American insitutions that should most vociferously speak out in favor of the free exchange of ideas - the universities and the media - have shrunk in the face of violent extremism and refused to show the infamous 12 Danish caricatures.

Lovely :) Enjoy your weekend!
