Speaking of yearbooks…
In my piles of stuff, I have three Duke yearbooks. Three editions of The Chanticleer. Yearbooks from 1994, 1995, and 1997. Yearbooks are free every year to Duke undergrads. Who wouldn’t alumni want to keep these books, chock-full of memories from their college days? I [Read More]
Raw follow-up
That was a bit unhinged. But, guess what? I am completely overwhelmed and exhausted, and there’s not an ounce of relief in sight. So I vented in here, as I am prone to doing. And I’m sure I’ll do so again. And maybe I’ll do it a lot. If it seems like [Read More]

Duke takes its fourth
I’ve got some blurry iPhone pics from Satisfaction in downtown Durham, taken after Duke sealed its win over Butler for its fourth men’s basketball championship. What a game! No, Psi Upsilon brethren, I did not go to campus to help defend the bench. I once kicked [Read More]
Duke Radiology’s Right-Wing Propaganda
No, I’m sorry, sweeetie. I can’t change it. I’ll lose my job. This is what a staffer in the Duke Hospital Radiology Department said to me after I, after 90 minutes of agony, requested that the television in the waiting room be switched from Fox News to [Read More]
