I Am Itching To Criticize Some Well-regarded

I Don't Like Having A Teaching Job - Office Hours And Conferences And Committees And Bosses And All That - But I Tend To Enjoy Teaching, And I Design The Course In Such A Way That There'll Be Pleasure In That.

When I Was In High School, I Was In A Special Math Class. I Was Infatuated With Physics, Particularly Nuclear Physics, Einstein, And The Big Bang. I Read A Lot About Black Holes. And Partly Because I'm So Lazy I Thought You Could Do All This Just By Looking At The Sky And Thinking Up Universes. It Didn't Seem Like Hard Work When I Was A Kid, So I Enrolled In This Class.

I Don't Know The Numbers, But Roughly Half Of The People Who Came Through Ellis Island Returned Home. They Came Here To Make Money, Not To Make History.

I Have Two Homes, Like Someone Who Leaves Their Hometown And/or Parents And Then Establishes A Life Elsewhere. They Might Say That They're Going Home When They Return To See Old Friends Or Parents, But Then They Go Home As Well When They Go To Where They Live Now. Sarajevo Is Home, Chicago Is Home.

It's Difficult For Me To Understand How It Was Possible To Live Under The Bush Regime For Eight Years And Then Just Roll Over And Do Other Things.
