I am revising a paper for a statistics journal and just inserted a reference to the American Kennel Club (AKC). Has a statistics journal ever included a reference to the AKC before?

Just added to my calendar when I am next eligible for a sabbatical

LilC made it to the awards stand twice this year at state tennis!

I only watch #Huskers football games in Q4 just to see what unique way they end up losing. The curse continues...

I have a difficult time understanding how administrators can jump from one university to another over and over again. The problem is often what some leave behind... themercury.com/news/breakin...

LilC gets a mention in the @journalstar.com! journalstar.com/sports/high-...

I hope lessons have been learned by seeing what happened at the big red neighbor to the north. kansasreflector.com/2026/10/12/k...

New sign for the K-State Department of Statistics

Great quote from www.startribune.com/umn-cuts-sta... "Austerity doesn’t work. Instead, it creates a death spiral, where reduction in services leads to reductions in revenue, which lead to reductions in services, which leads to reduction in revenue, which leads … you get the idea."

Decibel level of the window AC in my office

Tapestry episode of #STNG on H&I this evening. Geordi asks Picard for a statistical analysis! If only UNL understood that stats are important in the 24th century...

LilK broke his first string

After owning the South House in #MHK for two months, I finally have blinds for the windows!

I am giving away a free copy of the brilliant book, 'Analytic Methods in Sports' by Tom Severini. Just like, repost, and follow, and I will randomly select a winner on Friday! 😀 #Statistics #DataScience #SportsAnalytics #RStats #Baseball #Football #Basketball www.routledge.com/9781032836003

Visited the new tennis facility in Manhattan, KS today: 8 courts open to the public at no cost! Why can't #LNK do the same?

Listening to the Agassi audio book on recent drives and got to the 1995 Becker match at the US Open. Great serve return! Becker's tongue direction was straight: body serve youtu.be/z7-RkLfXCfA?...

NEMA 14-50 outlet installed in my South House garage today! #Chevy #EquinoxEV

Lots of wild sunflowers in Kansas this week

Car temperature late this afternoon in MHK

Evening tennis triangular at Woods Tennis Center for the Bilder boys: LilK playing #2 singles for LNK North Star and LilC playing #1 doubles for LNK Southeast on side-by-side courts. Both beat LNK Northwest.

More corn from the garden

#LNK North Star high school varsity tennis team for 2026! First matches were today. LilK made varsity as a freshman and plays #2 singles!

Rain over #MHK this morning

My 33rd year of teaching college courses began today! 27th year as a prof! youtu.be/4NBJHWimYP8

K-State band welcomes new faculty with the fight song: youtu.be/RkY3L7wtS8Y?.... It got a little awkward after this when the Wabash Cannonball was played and no new faculty knew to move to the song.

After many undefeated intramural volleyball seasons and appearances in the title match as a student at K-State, I finally get an intramural champion t-shirt!

Listening to 90s music while doing a drive that I did hundreds of times in the 90s!

Sunrise over the Little Apple #MHK

7th tennis racquet strung over the last 7 days. This is my #ProKennex Black Ace Pro strung with the new #TourBite Soft.

First corn from garden this year!

I saw a monster in Boston this week

LilK's racquets are ready to go for his first high school tennis season. I strung both with #Toroline's Caviar 18 gauge at 52 lbs.

I like the book shown in the lower left corner of the pic!

Still digging up potatoes from the garden

Moving into our South House today. We only have one chair right now. Maybe we could put a blanket down on the floor and have a picnic for dinner this evening.

#OTD 1840 Carroll D Wright b (d 20 Feb 1909) 5th ASA President 1897-1909. In 1908 he has the first annual ASA meeting outside Washington or Boston (Atlantic City) & initiates the yearly ASA President address where he spells out why ASA changed its name from ‘Society’ to ‘Association’. Think about it
