I was at the PSU/WVU football game yesterday, and I was tickled to see that the locals made such a special effort to welcome me.
Prior to the baseball writers dinner in New York, hanging with former New York Mets manager, Bobby Valentine.

Watching The Bridge on the River Kwai on TCM, and I come to find out that the French author of the book, Pierre François Marie Louis Boulle (20 February 1912 – 30 January 1994) also wrote the book Planet of the Apes (1963)

The slow, painful morphing of universities into technical colleges… nytimes.com/2023/08/18/us/we…
I took a lot of classes earning three degrees in Civil Engineering, and I don’t remember any of this material being covered in any of those courses.
I’ve said it before, but let me say it again….this account is a perfect example of the word, schadenfreude…

Even by our high standards, this is truly spectacular.
