Doing my best Mike Gundy impression on my 40th birthday.
Skip to the 2:24 mark for the line:
Thanx to mom and dad for the last 40 years of raising me, educating me, and teaching me to think for myself. Thanx to Tali for 13 years of sharing love that knows no bounds. Thanx to Ros for being a true partner and making my most recent years get better every day. And thanx to MacLaren for making me feel young again.

I arrived at my University of Iowa Jefferson Building (JB) office this morning (the day before my 40th birthday), and discovered this taped to my door.
It is supposedly the text of “1JB40Car (the Tye-Dye Scroll)”, a newly-discovered Dead Sea Scroll. It purports to be a list of things I’ve said during various classes at Iowa (with the most incriminating words conveniently lost to lacunae :).
Much of it appears to be corroborated by a textual congruency with a particular Twitter site, which I’m guessing was authored by the same students.
Anyways, I can neither confirm nor deny the accuracy of the statements below.
But I CAN say that I love teaching, I love my students, I love the University of Iowa!
Thanks guys!
(And NO, I shan’t be supplying the missing words…)
