Alas, the time has come to leave this place. It was fun and valuable until it was neither. You can follow my occasional musings on Threads @ mybeckpages.

@JamesQueallyLAT hey James, enjoying your Bren piece. Is this a typo? “… and liquor swilling in a decanter.” Should be swirling, I think.

@jselingo Great piece on higher ed in New York mag! This quote read wrong to me: “Counselors call these the ‘College Day’ schools,” said ...

Shouldn't that be 'Game Day' schools?

Diana Marcum, an empathic and extraordinary person, friend and colleague is no longer with us, but her words will live on. I will cherish the year we spent on drought stories in California’s Cen Valley for @latimes

SUA hosted the OC Bike Camp for people with disabilities to learn to ride a bike, partnering with the Down Syndrome Association of OC. Three DSAOC staff and 100 volunteers taught 40 people, ages 8 to 34, to ride a bike this year! This is the 13th year SUA has hosted the event.
