The IF Factor: Questions Answered #201-210

201. If you could completely remove someone's vocal cords for a year, whose would they be?

Kathy Griffin was the first person that came to mind after reading the question. Not sure why it was her, but either way, I find her to be very obnoxious. 

202. If you were given academic tenure to teach any course you wished at any university in the world, where would you want it to be, and in what subject?

I would teach a course on professional wrestling and how it applies to society, social norms, and life overall. Sounds weird, but I definitely have a vision, and can surely pull an entire semester out of it. Maybe even having to break it up into sections. I swear, I'm not crazy. I'd teach it somewhere here in the city. Maybe even at my current employer of NYU. 


203. If you had to name the best and worst diets you've ever tried, which would win and lose? 

Best diet - eating what I wanted and working out to balance it. Worst Diet - Eating what I didn't want. 

204. If you had to name the most beautiful spot on earth that you've ever seen, what would you choose?

Salt Pond, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Went there twice as a child, and will never forget how awesome it was. 

205. If you had to name the single most important duty of a parent, what would you say it is?

To prepare their child to be able to function and excel in society responsibly by thinking and making decisions independently to benefit their lives and others around them. 

206. If you had to identify what made the best teacher you ever had the best, what would you say it was?

The ability to bring the best out of you by challenging you. I always felt the best teachers/professors I've ever had were the ones who were hard on you and your work. That certain toughness is respectable, and always the class that you walk away from with more insight than that easy A class. 

207. If you were to identify the most important quality in a friend, what would you say it is?

Unselfishness. Nothing like a friend that gives back and that you can count on. 

208. If you could open and run any kind of restaurant anywhere, what kid of food would you serve, and where?

I would open up a small restaurant that has the feeling of a summer bbq year round. The menu would be small allowing for take out and in-house dining and would offer burgers, hot dogs, ribs, chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad, macaroni salad etc. Of course, I'd prefer to open this up in New York City. Maybe downtown Brooklyn, West Side of Manhattan, or other select areas in the city where the working crowd can have options for lunch, dinner, or even somewhere to grab a quick bite on the weekends. 

209. If you could name the three most important family values in order of importance, what would they be?

Faith. Unselfishness. Trust. 

210. If you could give a single piece of advice to the fashion industry right now, what would you say?

Don't try so hard and don't over-think everything!! Sometimes simple and practical is better.

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...
