"Dr.Lana, I have someone to show you," one of my favorite students says.
She pulls up a picture on her phone of a sassy cat, "Meet Lana."
I look a little confused.
"I named her after you," she adds.
"Really?? Why?" I'm genuinely surprised, coming from a culture where pets are not considered of the same status in the household as humans (I know, I need to change that attitude but some cultural beliefs are really hard to shake off).
"Because she is smart, aloof, and extremely selective with what she eats and does."
"I'm honored," and I mean it.

Second Shadow
I noticed it by accident, which is how most bad ideas introduce themselves. I was cutting through the square at lunch, phone in one hand, iced coffee sweating down my wrist. The sun was a bully, straight up, no cloud cover, every edge of everything carved into the pavement. I walked past the sundial because I like proof that time is meaningful in more than one medium.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
