Alright, I’m back! In April 2018, after running my first Boston Marathon, I was primed to give this blogging thing a second try, and to reach a sustainable model for posting content. Then I gave up on social media and backed away from stand up comedy. In the words of one former advisor, “Life always gets in the way, if you let it.”
During my hiatus–specifically September 2018–my “pack” got an offer to live in Chicago, and we jumped at the opportunity. It meant leaving my tenured, Associate Professor position for an uncertain future, but I was ready. What followed was a marathon (Kansas City), the wife’s move, a job search, another marathon (Boston 2019), a house renovation and sale, a Black Belt, my move, training for a new career, and now a global pandemic.
Now, in the era of COVID-19, I’ve decided to try again. Being that I’m retired from academic life, I’ve decided to shift the focus of this blog to pop culture critique more generally–what I’m into, what I like, what I’m currently watching. I’ve created meta-categories of TV, Movies and Stand up (where all the old content can still be found), and I’ll still write about stand up. However, since I’m no longer “publishing or perishing” the tone will hopefully be more fun, and the content less “eggheaded” (though not completely egghead free). Perhaps people will even read it! I hope you enjoy!
