Quick takes on life from our editors
Mein Bowl
Easy on the onions, please. I’d prefer not to be crying by the end of my meal. But seriously, I think there is the equivalent of about one onion in every serving.

In love all over again
It has been one night and I’m in love with Philly. I think I might look for jobs here.

Conferences
Today will be a day full of work and learning, and running away from people trying to drag me to a haunted penitentiary. Tomorrow, I get to traipse around Philly.
—Claire
Living it up
I am so thankful to have made it to Philadelphia in one piece. I’m looking forward to a day of learning more about journalism and hopefully some fun as well.

World Series
Congratulations Giants on winning the World Series, but I’m getting tired of watching you hoist the trophy every couple years. I think it’s time for the Mariners to win one … please.

Happy Halloween!

Reformation Day
Four-hundred and ninety-seven years ago today, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of All Saints Church in Wittenburg, the Reformation began and the truth of Scripture was rediscovered. Truly, our God is a mighty fortress.

Timing
It’s amazing — and slightly frightening — how much a situ- ation’s outcome can depend on a few minutes.

Looking forward
Spring term and the terms following it are a distant blur in my mind. Summer internship? A work in progress.

Friendly advice
If you’re going to teach at the university level it’s probably not appropriate to make a KKK joke and then refer to your students as a “tough crowd” when they don’t laugh. It’s also probably in your best interest to learn the correct, non-offensive terms for different groups of people before you try
to tell an irrelevant story involving a minority and refer to them using derogatory labels because you “don’t know what the correct terminology is.”

Watch out Moscow
If you see a person-sized ladybug around Moscow on Friday night don’t be alarmed, it’s just me doin’ my thing on Halloween. I might even wear my costume on Saturday and Sunday, too.
