My favorite Penn State tradition is Saturdays in autumn. I haven’t missed an autumn Saturday yet since I was born.

I’m always amused by dark, subtle humor regarding the unsavory, the macabre, or the taboo — most preferably when presented at the most unexpected and inappropriate moment.

My favorite author is Geoffrey Chaucer.

My favorite computer game is The Oregon Trail. I’ve died of dysentery a million times over trying to lead my group of settlers safely to the Willamette Valley.
