Well, we are three weeks into the spring 2020 semester at USF and I find that my enthusiasm for teaching has not diminished after all of these years.  Although students have changed in many ways since I started teaching at the University of St. Francis in 1978, I still find the majority of students to be enthusiastic, willing to learn and be responsible enough to meet course deadlines.

If you have aspirations to write scripts for a media outlet, you are entering a golden age of episodic story-telling, aka, television. (Although it’s not really TV anymore, at least not in the sense that anyone before millennials knows.) But episodic stories; short-run, long-form and everything in-between and especially talented people to write them, are in great demand.

Please indulge me. I’d like to brag a little bit – about some CMMA students and some CMMA adjunct faculty members.

The 2019 Christmas season marks the 27^th year WCSF has hosted The Spirit of Christmas programming. The programming began on Thanksgiving day and runs daily, non-stop 24 hours until noon on January 2^nd. 

Lots of politics in the air this week as the U.S. House of Representatives has begun impeachment hearings for the 45^th President of the United States.  For some people, this has been a long time coming for serious violations of U.S.

So, at the end of September, I had a little run-in with a blocked artery in my left leg. More on that in a later post….maybe. What I want to discuss now is what I learned while lying flat on my back for a week in a hospital.
