I'm looking for a good three player game to play with my two adult sons. We will not be playing live. We lean towards Ameritrash, but are flexible. Thank you!

It's a relatively new requirement in our state. I don't enjoy writing them. In a perfect world, I would carefully keep a folder of my accomplishments and simply assemble the list at the end of the semester, but that isn't happing, so I spend like 10 hours writing this after I'm done teaching. I also get the sense that everyone is using AI to summarize student comments in evaluations, etc.

Sometimes it feels like there is a steady barrage of text messages about stuff that could probably wait until ward council. It's like a very unsatisfying form of social media. I am considering setting some text message boundaries. As opposed to asking to be released, which I have never done.

1. Cybersecurity

2. Creative writing, specifically Brandon Sanderson studies.

I realize that there are other majors on campus, but this is what it has felt like for the past year. So you have kids who heard that Cybersecurity is hiring, and the Fantasy fiction lottery players.

What occasionally surprises me is when some completely normal student who played baseball in high school slowly morphs into a complete hacker. It's disturbing, yet also inspiring. Maybe our identities are more pliable than I realize.

Hear me out: the last baseball game I went to, I couldn't even bring a fanny pack into the stadium. I had to walk through metal detectors. The same goes for the recent "buried library" exhibit of papyrii from Pompei.

Last night at the correspondent's dinner some guy with a shotgun and knives went running past the secret service. It's a crazy world.

I bring this up because it's ironic.

Note that I did not say anything about he who must not be mentioned.
