I’m a descriptive grammarian, but even I have my limits.

We just passed this date. Who knows what’s going on in an AI lab somewhere.

At least Tony loves my work. I hope to get copies of “Requiem for a College” into the hands of leadership at small private colleges, so they can read what happened to Saint Joseph’s College, and learn.

I didn’t do this, but I *did* tear a copy of Aristotle’s “Rhetoric” in half sometime in the early aughts.

I’ve been reading “The Rift,” an old #startrek book by Peter David (RIP). He was having a bit of fun with this line.

I feel like George McFly at the end of “Back to the Future” as I opened these boxes today. I experienced the trend of small college closures and lived to write about it. “Requiem for a College” is available now. #academicsky

This is dark humor to make a point. Higher ed must face this problem as well as I read accounts of adjuncts living out of their cars.

In college, someone asked me, “What do you write about?”
A prick who happened to be standing there snarked, “Whatever he’s obsessing on at the time!!”
Couldn’t agree more.

Not even a ripped up street stopped the great unboxing of “Requiem for a College!” See pinned post.
