Are there others who savor knowledge, humor, the arts, and the bounty of nature? All of this while still being realistic, skeptical, cynical, confident, but kind? I'd like to engage with people like this.

I am searching to find an answer for why a talented scholar and skilled host would be fired. Knowing your background in academia meant I knew I could trust your facts, which you delivered with great wit and elán. You are a nerd, a style icon, a great author. I can't wait to see what you do next!

I tried to come up with a joke answer about C notes and G notes in money but that didn't pan out

There is! In Baroque notation Bb is written as B and B natural is notated as H. I think it has something to do with the tuning system of keyboard instruments at the time. So, Bach used Bb, A, C, H in a lot of his motifs. He was a self-indulgent rock star, of course he did!

I'm with ya on this, operative word rock. I might suggest Meshuggah or the Clash. You have good taste in crabby music, let us know what should be on our playlists tonight

I think clyburn was trying to find a sneaky way to get Donald to admit he was guilty. A thing that will never happen.

Someone on this thread reminded me that if you accept a pardon then you accept that you are guilty. Maybe clyburn thinks that would be a sneaky way to get Trump to admit his guilt. Nice try I guess

Later I started teaching college, I had a gay student whose parents refused to sign her FAFSA until she disavowed being gay. Yes, please write that article or book. This is something a lot of folks don't know about

Started college in 82 with a little bit of $$ from bussing tables. I was eligible for financial aid, got a Pell grant and work study. Next semester, Reagan changed the law, requiring parents to submit financial info for students under age 24. Mine refused. It took years to graduate working full-time

favorite horror film of all time, The Hunger from the 80s with Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie. Sexy scary with gorgeous music. Also, Suspiria, strange and frightening. I am speaking of the 2018 version, when I looked up how to spell it, I learned the original was in 1977, not seen that yet

Timely.

Yes. But now, as a teacher of children and adults, I do not dislike any of my students. I endeavor to guide them to be their best selves. If they don't see it, I can't force them to think differently.

I came here to find interesting people with interesting ideas. I don't expect other posters to provide entertainment for me. I have 4 sites devoted to promoting my creative work and I understand the pressure. Here I'm happy to find a space to be myself and see how others express themselves, so TY
