Sunday Sundown Rundown - 1/21/18


3 Up

1. Women's March - I'm happy to see this movement wasn't just a reactionary thing to last year's happenings, but one that continues to move forward. It's a continue reminder that the fight for equality for us all is still ongoing. 

2. Aly Raisman - Raisman stood up land et the world know what was done to her and how corrupt USA gymnastics currently is. She really left it all out there, and it was quite eyebrow raising. It was also just as sickening to hear what has been going on, and what has been covered up. 

3. Tom Brady and the Patriots - Give the man his due. Brady is 40 years old and still winning. I don't care for the Super Bowl all that much anymore, but I recognize and respect the greatness. It's a once-in-a-generation deal, and I appreciate it. 

3 Down

1. Government Shutdown - Ugh. Come on...I don't care whose fault it is, this is a disaster. 

2. Deportation of Jorge Garcia - Look, I'm going to say something I'm sure will divide those of you who read this, but so it goes - the deportation of Garcia is heartless and saddening. I'm all for making sure immigrants are contributing, but giving them no access (or limited access) to citizenship and sending them back, despite being brought here as a child is classic American politics. And of course, more of the same in removing people of color from the country. 

3. Eating Tide Pods - Ok. Really? Why is this a thing? Why? Why!?! Why?!!!! 

1 Ummmmm OK?

1. Fake News Awards - I give the President his due, and though they were indeed rather ridiculous (in truth, facts, stature, and overall necessity), the idea was rather funny. I'll admit, I laughed. The President uses such classic pro wrestling heel tactics at times, it's quite humorous. The worst part of all of this was seeing Sean Hannity yuck it up like it was the funniest thing he ever saw. It wasn't THAT funny, Sean. Settle down.

Dear Son, Big Fan of the Kid Turning Seven

---7 Years Old --- Dear Son,  It’s been a while since I’ve dropped a few thoughts. Forgive me, I’ve just been watching. Just observing. Taking it all in. Trying to be a good dad. I’m punching the keys today from one of your martial arts practices. It’s your second with “the big kids” and also the second time I’ve found myself watching from the sidelines with anxiety, with pride, and with likely my biggest fandom for you yet in this space. My feelings are much more than you playing baseball or coaching you in basketball. Your disposition is different. Your excellence is different in this space. With martial arts, you stay diligent with the process. Respectful. Working hard. Getting better. In competition with and respecting the older kids you are training with. That’s what I’ve enjoyed. It encapsulates everything you’ve grown into thus far. Still empathetic as ever, but adding an element of self-ambition and drive - something I’ve prided myself on - and to see you mature into this m...

Working in Higher Ed, Lately

"Working in higher education must be interesting these days, huh?" That question was posed to me by several people who recently learned that I worked in higher education. The recent discourse around the industry and field has certainly shifted in narrative and the overall feel within it. I recently wrapped up my fourteenth (!!) academic year. It's remarkable to think that I've been serving students and following a passion for this long. This is especially the case considering the rising turnover, the documented yearly burnout, and the increasing exodus from the field.  And, yup, there is that whole enrollment cliff combined with the politics that are more present than ever on college campuses.  So yeah, higher education is weird right now. Very weird.  Some quick thoughts : IS IT TIME?  Yes, I have thought about leaving the field several times. Especially, over the last few years. COVID didn't really bother me, but it's safe to say that the world of higher edu...
