    Shrinking ends its season as the best thing on TV

    Too much cannot be said about the most recently concluded season of Shrinking on Apple TV. I’m a Jason Segel completist anyway, but throw in Harrison Ford, Brett Goldstein, and… wait for it… Michael J. Fox(!) and yeah, you’ve got magic. … Continue reading →

    Tomorrow night at my local library I’m giving a presentation on three men with ties to public universities in Virginia. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Mason either started a college, or decades later had a college named after them. (I’ll … Continue reading →

    Ah, baseball, sweet baseball, and its opening… night? Yeah, Opening Night tonight in Oracle Park, as the San Fransico Giants host the team of my youth, the New York Yankees. Two of the most successful and storied franchises in sports facing … Continue reading →
