June 27, 2006 · 1 Comment

It’s about time that I resurrected the “Top Five Songs (This Week) That You Can Legally Download” portion of the blog. Yes, I know. It’s been a long time. But doesn’t that make the return that much more poignant?

1. Spacehog | “The Last Dictator”
2. Rock Kills Kid | “Hideaway”
3. R.E.M. | “Sad Professor”
4. Litany | “Madrigal”
5. Pixies | “Wave of Mutilation”

More later…

Sum-Sum-Sum-Sum-Summertime

Here I am, back at Choate again for summer #7. Quite something, ain’t it? I got a nice and unexpected surprise today: I was awarded a Summer Teaching Chair for exceptional teaching and service to Choate. I get a nice stipend to go with it. Sweet, eh? My friend Kari shared the award with me, which is awesome. She’s the greatest.

Anyway, that’s that. More later. Right now, I need to head for the opening dinner. That shrimp goes fast!

Yes, Yes, and Yes Some More

June 12, 2006 · No Comments

I am still alive. Seriously. It’s just been a long few weeks.

Let’s recap for the uninitiated:

1) School #1 ended, and School #2 doesn’t begin until June 23rd.

2) I spent two days in Groton Long Point, CT, where the cool folks go.

3) I am currently resting and relaxing in New Jersey. I will soon be resting and relaxing in Massachusetts. Then I’m off to Choate (see #1).

4) I just bought a footstool for my Poang chair at Ikea in Paramus. No, I didn’t go to Paramus Park. Don’t be a dingbat.

So that’s the buzz. More later as events warrant.
