I wish I could get in a time machine and redo parts of my life. I loved college for the most part, but now working on a college campus, I feel like I could have done more and taken advantage of opportunities available only in college. Professionally, I know I could have done more when …
One more Valentine's Day in the books. It's not a big day for me. I am, after all, a cynical romantic. I am happy for all those who want to celebrate, and should, but it's just not for me. As George & Ira Gershwin told us: Old Man Sunshine, listen, you Never tell me dreams …
