The Nutty Professor

According to Wikipedia (source on all things true and accurate), a professor is a qualified expert who may perform one of the following:

• conduct lectures and seminars in their field of study (i.e., they "profess"), such as the basic fields of mathematics, science, humanities, social sciences, education, literature, music or the applied fields of engineering, design, medicine, law, or business;

• perform advanced research in their fields.

• provide pro bono community service, including consulting functions (such as advising government and nonprofit organizations);

• train young or new academics (graduate students).

Well I’ve got another definition to add to the list: A professor is also one who teaches Tax Crimes and Penalties at Georgetown University Law Center….like my husband!

Trav is teaching a course as an adjunct professor this semester, and his first class is tonight. I can’t wait to audit it! Send happy thoughts his way!

The “Rhode” to the Sweet Sixteen

As some of you may have noticed, the entry about March Madness was written by my wonderful, talented, sports-enthusiast of a husband. He is such a fan, in fact, that he decided to fly to Rhode Island with some friends to catch the Tennessee vs. San Diego State match up in Round 1 of the NCAA tournament. When all was said and done, he was only in Providence for less than 12 hours. But from the looks of the pictures, it was well worth it! Oh, and Tennessee won 62-59. GO VOLS!
