SL 601

I’m groggy and sore this morning.

This weekend, we rebuilt the raised beds for the tomatoes and moved plants from one side of the yard to the other. We cheered for Jonah as he ran a local 5K. We walked around the Bronx Botanical Gardens. (Note to self: Do not take a teenager to the botanical gardens on a Sunday morning. Apparently, they enjoy sleeping more than a leisurely stroll through the gardens of ferns. Much eye rolling happens when you choose ferns over sleep.) We deep cleaned the house. We hosted one BBQ and attended another.

So, my brain is frozen. Let’s see what people are talking about…

Michael Berube writes about Jaime and his quest for employment. (Thank, Jeremy S.)

The shooting rampage in CA is bringing attention to a really weird subculture on the web that revolves around guys who feel rejected by women. (Thanks, Amy P)

A college degree means a bigger salary. “Americans with four-year college degrees made 98 percent more an hour on average in 2013 than people without a degree. That’s up from 89 percent five years earlier, 85 percent a decade earlier and 64 percent in the early 1980s.” Hmmm. Going to come back to this study later.

I do enjoy all the “Leaving Academia” articles. (Thanks, Wendy)
