So glad I was able to see the beautiful show by Shanna McNair in the Emery Center at its closing, and to hear her read from her book SOUL RETRIEVAL. Shanna was a BFA student years ago who helped shape the program, and shape me as a writing teacher.

HCR writes that Trump "didn’t land on a plan until less than three hours before he announced it . . . Neither Republican lawmakers nor the president’s team knew what Trump would do. 'He’s at the peak of just not giving a f*ck anymore,' a WH official told reporters." Some of us do give a fuck.
