Good evening from my office, Somehow, for the first time since I can remember, I actually had no clue that this morning was the beginning of the switch to daylight savings time. I am not sure how, but when I woke up and it was supposedly 9:00 a.m., I was astounded that I had sleptContinue reading “Taking a Break (from reading to doing)”

Being a Gentleman
Hello from the corner of my study on a Saturday evening, Today I had the opportunity and honor of being at a wedding of one of my former students.

International Wonders
Hello on a Friday evening, I had the opportunity to see the punk musical American Idiot this evening on campus. It was quite astounding. The music and the vocals were outstanding, but the choreography was simply stunning to me. The energy and the set were infectious and the Mitrani Center was sold out I believe. ItContinue reading “International Wonders”

Pleasant Surprises

Snow, Classes, Choices

I am alway amazed by what I learn at these assemblies. I am amazed by the hard work and tremendous scholars that is conducted and are present atContinue reading “Snow, Classes, Choices”
Organized Randomness
Good afternoon from the Fog and Flame, I think I need a vacation. Many might say you just had one, but what I think I need is a working vacation, one where I can focus, in an uninterrupted manner. What might I do with such a “respite” of sorts? The first thing I would doContinue reading “Organized Randomness”
Writing, Organizing or Procrastinating
Hello from the Fog and Flame, I am in the Fog and Flame working on getting organized for the coming week. It is always a hope that I have my ducks-in-a-row, but to be honest, as my students will surely confirm, there are times I am more on top of things than other moments. WhileContinue reading “Writing, Organizing or Procrastinating”
