The campus is just beginning to turn autumnal colors. This row of maples (correct me if I’m wrong) caught my eye walking near the JC.

This caught my eye. Probably because I wrote it. The 2012 Fall for the Book Festival should be the best ever.

Magazines we wish were still being published
August 23rd, 2012 · No Comments · Uncategorized
One of my favorite journalism gatekeepers, Jim Romenesko (jimromenesko.com), asked his readers what defunct magazines they missed the most. Not sure if I agree with some (FHM? just the photo captions; Sassy, really?), and I’d add Gourmet (which I thought would be untouchable), the NYTimes’ Play (great takes on sports), and Rugby magazine (the USA […]

2016 arrived today, and if the orientation ceremony the 500-or-so freshmen attended this morning is any indication, the Class of ’16 is likely to be a highly spirited one. The Patriot Leaders barely had to coax a loud “Mason!” from the masses on the lawn by the pond as the new students replied to their […]

I think I may have overdone it with my screens, but I NEED SCREENS. I love them. I must have them. It’s how my brain works. Still have room for a few more.
