Busy day in class. We set up blogs, talked about news critiques — I started in with the obvious, showing them Antoine Dodson.
So we talked about news critiques, and we started talking about resumes. We’ll talk a lot about those this semester.
So I prepped for that, read, talked much, stayed long and so on.
Lunch was jambalaya. Dinner was enchilada. I feel very cosmopolitan.
I was a trending topic on Twitter this evening.
A former student noticed it and pointed it out to me. Of course it wasn’t me. There are three semi-famous to extremely famous people with whom I share the name. There’s the talented bluegrass musician, Kenny Smith, the former football player Kenny Smith and The Jet, the NBA basketball star turned TNT analyst.
Turns out that Kenny Smith and his colleagues Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley had Tracy Morgan on their show tonight. You can find the clip on YouTube yourself, but suffice it to say that we learned that Morgan makes Barkley look soothing and responsible in comparison.
And some days you wish the random person on Twitter could distinguish between a man with two NBA titles and a guy 11-years younger who is a bit slower and could only barely touch the rim of a basketball goal on his very best of days.
I’m also three or four inches shorter, but let’s not quibble over obvious differences.
