    I told my wife this, and right away she guessed that he was displaced by a baby. That's why she's the genius of the family.

    Even the remake of Lady and the Tramp gives Tramp a tragic backstory.

    My big experiment this semester is using Twitter to help with revision. For their narrative, students translated it into a twitter feed in order to see how it does or does not include the structure of Freytag's pyramid. I'm thinking of doing something similar with their op-eds.

    So now leftists think, if you guys couldn't win what should have been a gimme election with your handpicked candidate, then maybe you no longer need to be the face of the Democratic Party. And maybe unity means standing in line behind someone on the left.

    But the decimation of Dems in Congress and at the state level during Obama's tenure as well as the humiliating defeat of Clinton at the hands of a reality TV show host changed the equation. Basically, if liberals can't even win elections, then what the hell are they good for?

    My take on the left/liberal split is that for years liberals basically told the left that in order to win elections you needed to skew to the center. You'll get thrown a bone now and again, and, besides, where else are you going to go in a two party system?

    Oh, man. I happened again today. I might as well have been asking for an eight-track tape player.

    This week I had to borrow a Blu Ray player from the university to play a movie in class, and the student workers in IT kept on trying to give an external DVD drive. When I told them it wouldn't work, they said "You could just try it."

    At some point during middle school, quite suddenly and inexplicably, it was no longer cool to wear your backpack single-strap style. You had to wear it with both straps. This is a mystery that's followed me into adulthood.

    I wish the internet hadn't wasted all its outrage on that Sonic the Hedgehog movie because I really think we could've gotten Hollywood to de-CGI that Call of the Wild movie.

    And still, people scratch their heads wondering why Boston rush hour traffic is the worst that it's ever been.

    Your housing policy is truly messed up when your average middle class family can't even enter the housing market near suburban rail lines.

    Using Trulia and Zillow, I looked for multifamily homes along different commuter rail stops in Massachusetts, and I noticed that in many of these cities, there's not a single multifamily home for sale. So my guess is that multifamily homes were all zoned out of these places.

    After teaching for over a decade, I'm much more encouraged by students who seem confused by the end of a lesson than by students who think they understand everything. The former are going to eventually better understand the course concepts.

    Before becoming a dad, I had no clue how many of my lunches would basically consist of eating everything my child left on her plate.

    Some random professor referred to me as young and welcomed me to the university. The problem is that I'm far from young, and I've been teaching at this school for over four years.
