My soft adopted son released their first song! I’ve been there for the countless shelved 1/2-songs, tears of frustration, the joys & sorrows that water their art, the celebrations when a recording hits, & the despair when days of work just don’t work.
Please listen - over & over again. #newmusic

UPDATE: New favorite biscuit recipe!
Watching the news this morning and working out my anxieties and frustrations by baking (and talking to the tv like a crazy ol’ man). Heading the gym after this to physically work it out.

Mother’s Day can be hard - for so many reasons. I try and stay off of social media on Mother’s Day.

To those of you grieving your mother today
To those of you grieving the mother you never had
You are seen and you are loved

When a random student stops in the hallway and you hear “Hey Siri, show me Doc from Back to the Future” and you know what he’s about to walk up and say…

This! I don’t know that I have ever read a better, more visceral depiction of grief.
I am so proud of my friend @think_theo - such beautiful writing!

To the Class of 2025 & all the students I have had the joy & honor of teaching & working w/ over the last 24 years, I am reposting this poem that never stops evolving in meaning for you. May you push forward with confidence, rest your eyes in peace, & continue to treat the 2 Imposters just the same.
