Out in the hallway my students are hard at work installing their thesis group show, for Friday’s opening. I may be broadcasting from a fool’s paradise, but there have been no major traumas yet. Work is going on to the walls at a steady clip, and the show seems to be surprisingly light on the… Continue Reading

Are you rolling in the ears?
A member of the New York Correspondance School sent a package to the class here at Austin Peay. Inside we found twenty pairs of sequined bunny ears and the phrase “How to Bowl like a Bunny”. So of course we all donned them and proceeded to bowl for the evening while the jukebox played things… Continue Reading
This is the look that says: “Take me out, you lazy, lazy sod”…
It’s clear and warm in Brooklyn. I’m going to go out in it (again) in a little while. Got to soak up any autumnal pleasantness as I find it. For the first time in many days I’m not waking up with an immediate deadline or meeting hanging over my head. What lightness! Last night I… Continue Reading
Talk to the future…
This morning I spoke to a group of students from Duke University as part of a cultural program supervised by my friend Jeff.

The students got dolled up and we presented them with a certificate that I designed. It’s a lovely event and this… Continue Reading

Ear good, mouth bad…
How can it be almost four pm already? It’s the time of the year when everything just comes on the heels of everything else. The people I work with are short tempered and stressed. I’m trying to cultivate my calm. I’ve also taken on a few days of additional teaching as a favor to a… Continue Reading
Raisins and Dog Biscuits…
…are what I need to buy today on the way home. But really this post is about IMsL. This was the first Leather Contest I’ve attended, and only the second title contest (in the late 90′s I was part of helping the Metro Bears put on a run/contest that had very little impact). On the… Continue Reading

Sometimes teachin’ is fun! A great evening at TES: big turnout and people seemed to genuinely like the class. And I had a very comfy foot rest for most of it. Tags: daily photo, teaching, tes… Continue Reading
