I've got a really broad reach of weird and seemingly unaligned experience. Getting by with it all though.

They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning,
We will remember Them. 🙏

Is it weird to be properly excited about the first winter storm in a few years?

I never thought that a deli slicer of all things would be a great cost saver. The volume per price on wholesale deli meat actually makes it remarkably worthwhile!

My academic discipline seemed dated, but in the past 5 years, I've heard people discuss supply chains, interest rates, tariffs, trade wars, taxation, and more. And here I am lurking like a dork, hoping to get to teach parts of my discipline! Academic inclines never really leave you!
