The air was 60°, the water was warm, and my heart? Freshly rewired. Two weeks after ablation surgery, I figured a 200 fly was the perfect test. Coach says even he wouldn’t do it — and he’s 20. 😅
That’s why they call me Mr. Fly.

My opening weekend ranking of all 12 songs on Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” album.
Positions 1 and 2 are a dead heat.
The giddy sing-a-long infectious spritz of “Opalite” wins the weekend. But the dopamine “Reputation” rush of “CANCELLED!” is the likely long-term obsession.

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! 🙂
