I direct and produce. I teach at a university. I enjoy a good read or a rabbit hole equally. My wife is my business partner and my kids think they’re grown.

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson.

I’m not a smoker, but I think I want to buy an old school short smoking pipe to hold when I’m pondering. My ideas may be stronger.

So I saw someone on Reddit mention that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order had a $70 deluxe version on sale on the PS store for $7. Grabbed blindly having never heard anyone talk about it and BOY am I enjoying it!

Oh Mom, is that right?
We were talking about Inauguration Day, and a student asked me who I voted for.
I told him that was private because a teacher shouldn’t seem like they are influencing their students in any way.
He said, “My mom said all teachers are commies. What’s a commie?”
I told him to ask his mom.
