layer upon layer


this guy is about as close to being a renaissance man that i know. he's a man as complicated as he is good.

i like that.

Agreed. As a former student of both you and this individual, I would have to admit that I was often surprised at the many things you guys participated in outside of your academic life. It's funny how we always want to put other people in a box and how surprised we are when they are seen outside the confines of the box we created for them.

i kind of wish i had more outside my academic life going on than i have right now. but that's pretty much consuming. it's 4:25 am my time right now and i feel behind. i will start grading as soon as i post this. yesterday i started grading at 3:15 am. once i get to work, my day is consumed with meetings and scurrying about.

i've become one of those amazingly boring persons who speaks to people of how tired i am and the hours i'm working. these are the most boring people in the universe.

i am dangerously coming close to becoming one of them. you know, a pod person.

which will not do.
