My opening weekend ranking of all 12 songs on Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” album.

Nice to be quoted in a UM student's article in The Miami Hurricane about email etiquette.
I kinda dig the "Professor C." nickname on subsequent references – even if it's for the other professor in the story. Works for me, too! 🙂
