Teacher...and Friends

I ran across a remarkable example of poetry/political speech/social commentary/public speaking.

I googled him and found his web site.

I thought of a college roommate and dear friend, Austin Whitver. Austin in his own words:

"I am a graduate student, working towards my PhD in Renaissance Literature in, of all places, Tuscaloosa AL. Life can certainly throw some odd situations at you. I am an unrepentant Anglophile. Most of my life is occupied by reading, teaching and grading, with the remainder spent drinking inordinate amounts of coffee and/or squeezing in the occasional board game."



I am lucky enough to be one of his opponents on occasion. Every once in a while, I miss the college days when Austin, David Cybulski, and I could spend hours... okay days playing games. But then again, playing with my little daughter or laughing with my wife is hard to beat.
