Studio this morning. Two shows were shot, one included an interview with a tarot card reader.

And then I hosted this conversation.

Excited to host Stephanie Becker, ‘82, and Stephen Lucas, ‘80, in this afternoon’s panel before they receive their distinguished alumni awards. Looking forward to a great talk! https://t.co/3H2wd2g8oS

We had a full room for the Emmy-award winning director and Murrow-award winning producer. We talked about skillsets, they told media war stories, discussed hard days, good days, and how to do all the things you want to do in those broadcast internships and first jobs. They were, of course, terrific. I wish you’d been there to hear it.

While that was going on technology was breaking in the TV studio. Good thing we have backup cameras! There was an event to shoot and stream tonight, celebrating five exceptional alumni. And that was to be streamed — on Zoom?

On Zoom.

Zoom?

Yep. Three branded platforms to choose from, and that important program highlighting prestigious graduates was put on Zoom.

So there’s no feed to show you, unfortunately. Perhaps the recorded version will be uploaded somewhere eventually. (I’m an optimist, and team long-tail.)

Anyway, it was about 7 p.m. before I left campus. An 11-hour day today, and five of the last six days have been late days for me. I’m … tired.

The daily duds: Pictures of clothes I put here to, hopefully, help avoid embarrassing scheme repeats.

But I looked good! Old Calvin Klein shirt and a cheap Apt. 9 tie (hey, it has some heft and a great texture). It was Friday, so a casual dark blue suit.

How about the mespoke pocket square though? I made that one this summer. It got a nice compliment by a random person passing by today.

I was also sporting mespoke cufflinks, which I made earlier this year.

Now I just need to make a way to take better pictures of the cufflinks.

And a nice long nap. I need to make a way to take a nice long nap. I feel like I’m due a weekend and, wouldn’t you know it, we have one of those coming up. I hope you do, too! And I hope it is great!
