Big teaching switch that should make all things writing easier. Keep your fingers crossed for me. The past year has been rough!

Appreciate the thought :)

Zombieland is pure silly fun. Station Eleven tackles art and humanity at the end of the world. I really enjoyed the book (Emily St. John Mandel) and show (HBO).

Fantastic night in NYC.
