Gonna head home and read some William Gilmore Simms. It'd be a good night for bourbon. Alas, I quit drinking.

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

Read your Bible and pray, hit the gym, do some math, then get ready to go and do the best you can do at your job. Inspire someone today. show love to someone today. Smile at a stranger today. And remember to drink plenty of water. GM, y'all: it's a great day to be alive.

I get the weirdest emails. A guy emailed me today saying that I should take down the SC Encyclopedia page on Gaffney, SC because he is the 4x great grandson of the town's founder, yet his family never inherited any money from the founder's estate.

Doing a little extra lecture prep and then it's bed time, 5am comes early

I feel like such a major cause? symptom? of our decay in society is the complete lack of desire to start/be a part of a family

Just looked out up and my daughter is hitting .500 with an .875 OBP. Her coach jokingly calls her "Prime Bonds" & the data checks out. (as she weighs 50lbs and is very slow she has had to learn to have an amazing eye. You can't strike the girl out!)

Any recommendations on textbooks to teach oneself Koine Greek?

The failure in the US to use the fiber and leather from the animals we slaughter for food is a moral issue for me. We should ban polyester and other plastics for clothing and use the fiber from sheep and bison, the skins of cows and deer, etc. Cotton, linen, wool, leather. Snout

So proud of my girl at softball practice right now. Lot of the other girls are complaining about how hot it is, she's out here diving for grounders and making throws from her knees. Least athletic kid out here but makes up for it with heart and hustle.

Time for some pinball

I cannot begin to explain how much I love America

It's a horrible place and the only place in America worse than it is eastern NC, which is absolutely full of horror and you absolutely should never go there

I'm from 63 & currently live in 65, but my wife is from 45 & I must admit that it's the most beautiful part of the entire world, so I'm saying 45.

Time to make the grits

“I am Harambe the White, and I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.”

Man I wish I would have known that getting up early to read my Bible, drink black coffee, and be at the gym by 6.30am every day would improve every aspect of my life twenty years ago

Grading my students' commonplace books, an assignment I came up with for my literature class to short-circuit AI usage, and they are so good I wish I had always been using modified medieval pedagogical techniques for my entire career.
