Turned in my work laptop and signed out of the university email/calendar servers. Today was my last day at Arizona State University. Six and half lovely years, with great colleagues.
@lukemperez These moments always make me feel a mixture of anxiety, excitement, joy, and sadness. Praying for you during this change.
@KyleEssary Thank you. It felt odd for a few days only having my mobile devices, which I try not to use. But once I settled into it, the unplugged, analog vibe of yesteryear was quite nice. (Flying out to Columbus today; new laptop tomorrow morning.)
@lukemperez Eastern Ohio, Fall 2016: This conservstive ex-Republican from Purdue Country, driving to a monastery for a retreat, saw identical political signs in zillions of small-town front yards and realized that he may have misunderestimated Donald Trump’s appeal.
