Founder’s Day Karma
Posted in Posts, tagged uva on April 13, 2010 | 2 Comments »
It is Founder’s Day for Wahoos and fans of Mr. Jefferson everywhere! Yes, that’s right: on this day in 1743, Thomas Jefferson was born. For his presence, the world would never be the same. He wrote (most famously) the Declaration of Independence. His library was a germ for the Library of Congress (we all sell [...]

So, recently I watched a few episodes of Harvard’s “Justice” series on PBS. This is a series made from the lectures of a philosophy class taught at the aforementioned crimson university by Michael Sandel. It’s evidently quite a popular class, judging from the giant room, packed to the rafters. It’s also the subject of a [...]
On the Gridiron, Off on a Tangent

Well, kids, ‘Bama has won it all. Which is fine, I guess. Makes me remember working in the empty menswear shop at Fair Oaks with Shep, who was a big ‘Bama fan. It was just after their last national championship, in the early 90s. We had a good time in that shop…hardly any customers. Our [...]

Oh, Mr. Jefferson! I for one am GLAD you were elected President. And are known as “Author of the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, Author of the Declaration of Independence, and Father of the University of Virginia.” Especially that last part.

So, on Saturday I was on the information tour at the U with my sister (a senior! ack!) and her boyfriend, with my other sister (a freshman) along for the ride. The Lawn was all set up for Convocation, Greeters were everywhere moving the first-years in. It was wonderful. It reminded me of how happy [...]

Tiki to the right! Tiki to the left! Tiki up the middle! Punt! Was the old cry from Tiki’s days at U.-Va. when Coach Welsh was too busy throwing his hat to the ground to actually run a bold offense. At least now, there are choices — Punt! First Down! Touchdown! Fumble! It’s much more [...]
Mr Jackson

Via TAPPED, I am prompted to expound on my own personal experience with Mr. Jackson and his lack of consideration. When his son Yusef (don’t get me wrong, I remember him as a lovely young man, with whom I had several classes as a GFA major) graduated from U.-Va. in 1992, my then-best friend was [...]
