CJ loves to ask "what would you do if you had all the money you wanted" type questions. I bore him with first setting up trusts for him and K-Bug so I know they are set and paying off my debts. Then it would be all travel and education. I'd love to go back to school and major in something other than business. I don't know what right now. Maybe learn a language and then go to that country. Lather, rinse, repeat. I know English, so I could visit there first!
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I am having some serious cases of wanderlust right now. I suppose it's just spring and having so many friends jetting off to fabulous (okay, admittedly mostly on severe conditions work trips, but nonetheless) locales. But I think I'd better step up the "renew Liese's passport" plan.
Man, I just realized I let the SO drive off not only with apparently my backpack with all the tech stuff other than my actual laptop in it, which means I can't plug in the dongle and play with Pro Tools any tonight. AND with the bag of bacon jerky. Did y'all know there was such a thing as bacon jerky? Because there is. I ate three bags of it on this road trip alone. It is bacon! On demand! Just sitting there in your car for any time you're, say, purely hypothetically, sitting in a traffic jam in Dallas and fuming, and you need bacon. And then suddenly all the drivers around you get nicer and the wait gets shorter, because, bacon!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
So one of the coolest things I've seen a math teacher do is each day she has a my favorite mistake. She gives a warm up problem with an equation. She sorts them into wrong and right, then she looks for one that is wrong in a way that shows some mistake that is really wrong around a skill she is teaching, like distributive property, maybe. Then she recopies it in her handwriting and displays it and they discuss.
This sounds a bit like the school version of ita's last slide.

Did y'all know there was such a thing as bacon jerky?
Oof, this is dangerous information. First bacon jam and now this.

I KNOW! Shelf stable bacon!
That's really great, Kat, 'cause mistakes are one of the best ways to learn, and it's tough for students to grok that sometimes. I have this whole speech I give on making your mistakes big so you can learn from them, and we laugh a lot in our classes while correcting things, ("good correction" is higher praise than "that's right") but something like that is a great idea for framing that conversation.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
aaaand I just bought bacon jerky off Amazon. Thanks, Liese! Bacon on demand!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's a little dry, 'cause, you know, jerky. But it is seriously something I didn't know I needed until this week.

But hasn't there always been shelf-stable bacon in those little packets in the salad seasoning aisle? (Not that I've ever tested its staying power after purchase, mind you...)

In terms of rewarding people for identifying risks/problems literal cookies can be very effective. An *immediate* reward, and the sweet taste gives very powerful sense memory reinforcement.
