#AcademicRunPlaylist - 12/2/25

A selfie of me in the middle of a partially assembled bed. I'm a bald, middle-aged, white man with a red beard flecked with white. I'm wearing glasses with thick black rims and a blue collared shirt.

It's always an experience assembling new furniture, and at least the experience afforded me lots of time to listen to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!
