Looks like a nice place!

For some reason, I have started getting emails a few months ago from this resort, which looks to be very elegant and very pricey too.

Catch the Old Rockers before They Die

I really wish I would have seen Prince again before he died. I had seen him back when Purple Rain came out in 1985 and he was great. I have a tendency to forget how good performers are and let them pass through town without even trying to see them. That happened with Bob Marley, whom I had seen in college when Rastaman Vibration came out. He was through my town twice after that and then he went and died on me. So now I have a list of performers I need to see before they go. I saw Merle Haggard last June. I have Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and Neil Young on my list. Also some country performers like Loretta Lynn.  Paul McCartney will be in both New York and Philly but he sold out. Dylan will be here next month so I hope to catch him.

I also missed this great performance of Prince at the Super Bowl. I think I was at a meeting or doing something I liked a lot more.


 

This made my weekend!

Still a bad season but all the same....

Hurray!

Mission accomplished!

This is as good an historiographic essay as I have read in any grad colloquium I've taught at *******. I don't usually like the form. But, if they all read and were put together as thoughtfully and elegantly as yours, I would happily read more of them. It is banal for teachers (as you no doubt know) to say they learned from their students' work. But I really did learn from this.

Just 10 pages...

of a a term paper stands between me and a master's degree.

Rhapsody is still going, but not necessarily strong

Rhapsody predated Spotify by at least ten years but somehow it never really caught on. I still like it especially the radio stations, which have introduced me to lots of new music I never would have found.

 

My laugh for the day and the month and maybe the year

It's been a tough season for my Man United but this was priceless.
