I'm full "Uncle Bill" mode this weekend. It's exhausting but awesome!

I'm scheduled to teach an ethics and technology course in the college-in-prison program this fall. I'm very excited.
I'm going to play "The Beast" from Beauty and the Beast at a kid's fundraiser brunch this fall.

In 2012 I purchased a 2010 refurbished MacBook Air. I still use it although it is equal parts duct tape and aluminum. It works more reliably than a Lenovo Chromebook I bought.
When my school was cutting my major, I posted something on X about my anxiety and disappointment. A trustee recommended I read some stoicism because he found that it helped him (with no sense of irony that the discipline he was recommending I read was just eliminated by the board he sat on).
I just found out the How Weird Faire was cancelled in San Francisco. With no planning on my part, I found myself there for talks a few years in a row at that time, where I always stayed a couple blocks from it. It was full of kind people and was always very fun. 😩 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Wei...

Starting to think about how to justify an emancipatory approach in clinical care for a special issue due at the end of the year.
I started making some golf accessories in my (little) spare time. I get such a kick out of getting sales on Etsy. It's a whole lot of fun.

We met our daughter to watch Saturday at the Travelers. Go Victor!
I would never claim to be qualified to be the President of the United States, but I did hire a company to refinish my pool and it is neither green, nor peeling. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

My second and final College-in-Prison graduation is Thursday. I'm very excited to see my students that I haven't talked to since December.
Cool talk about supported decision making in the Pitt.
I have a very exciting professional opportunity coming up. I'm trying to contain my excitement and manage my expectations to not get ahead of myself.

Smoking and grinding from the passenger front brake. It looks like Halloween with the amount of smoke coming out. Then, "pop", everything seems normal. Either it was a rock or something jammed in, or something very important just fell off. Nothing to be found on the road. Wish me luck.

College-in-prison program graduation day! I can't imagine this not being wildly different from what I'm used to.
My last day in the college-in-prison program until (hopefully) the fall. What an amazing experience I hope I get to enjoy again. There are many logistical challenges that one could never begin to fathom. That said, I get to go to graduation at both facilities I've taught in at the end of the month!
In Buffalo to give a talk at the Romanell Center for Clinical Ethics and the Philosophy of Medicine.
I stepped in and guest lectured for a colleague's night class. That amounts to a 15 hour day for me. I'm ready for bed.

Heading to Buffalo next weekend for a talk in a 4 person read ahead workshop. The last time I attended it was amazing.
Happy to be back. Looking forward to talking about assisted dying policies with students in the college-in-prison program tomorrow.
