homecoming this past weekend was a great experience. lots of former students i hadn't seen in years, and it was great to socialize without any responsibility aside from helping push the drumline tempo to help us get off the field in time (+20-30 clicks bc the original tempo was a draaaaaaaaag)

a voice in my head sometimes says, "i should learn to play flute or something", but that gets squashed. I may not be a great percussionist, but I *am* a percussionist for life, and I wouldn't trade that

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.
