Isaac Winer ‘89 named President of Stanford

Posted on April 12, 2024 by markweiss86

super attorney, Isaac H. Winer, a graduate of the class of ‘89 and UCLA law school has been named the next president of Stanford. he said his priority is to buy up distressed property in college terrace and expand the Stanford research park which currently only has $18 billion worth of leases. The endowment itself $35 billion.

my model for the growth and asset management of Stamford is United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, not Oxford, Cambridge, or Cambridge or Berkeley. He announced via a hologram that he said was the original hologram used in Star Wars for Princess Leia. Which the university bought as part of its new history of film building or school.

As part of his deal, Stanford’s investing $50 million into T-shirts to promote his name, image and likeness. And the official fight song will go for all right now to pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.

this was announced April 1 2024.

pew, pew, pew, pew.
(for PEW)

Hopefully a record is in the works…Here she is quickly undoing her preparations before I started playing:

Dick Fregulia Day in Palo Alto

Posted on April 4, 2024 by markweiss86

TODAY APRIL 4, 2024 IS DICK FREGULIA DAY IN PALO ALTO

Dick Fregulia plays at 7:30 tonite — jazz piano trio — at Mitchell Park Community Center in Palo Alto, California, near Stanford, near San Francisco, near the sun and the stars and the moon above. 

Dick is Palo Alto High class of 1958 — where he enjoyed basketball — and Stanford class of 1962. By my math — being a Dartmouth grad, class of ’86 — that makes Dick 83 or 84 years of age, if I recently turned 60.

Besides his prowess and considerable accomplishment as a piano player and composer and arranger and band-leader and sideman and accompaniment for example for singers, Dick is also an educator, having taught at a public high school in Marin for many years. I want to say Tamalpais High but frankly as a Palo Altan myself I don’t really care to discern the distinction between, say Fairfax and Mill Valley  or Sausalito —unless he was from or or Rancho Nicasio which is a world unto itself — and we had a mayor here whose husband was actually from Rancho Nicasio — if you excuse the digression. Dick Fregulia still holds down a weekly gig at Marin Joe’s I think it was. 

But the main reason besides his show tonite 7:30 at the Mitch with Earthwise that today is Dick Fregulia Day — April 4 — Four Four — that’s almost a jazz thing — before there was Take Five there was Four Four not as a song but as a practice — in Palo Alto — as I was saying— or writing — or not writing — first thing this morning although so far all I’ve done is ring old friends and bend the ears of strangers – -wow, now it’s nearly 1 pm and only four hours until load-in and six point five take five until the hit.

Posted on March 28, 2024 by markweiss86

QUESTIONS Are you aware of the fact that tonight at the City Hall here you had a greater audience than has been seen there for many years? And more appreciation than has been heard there. The applause was fantastic. I never heard so much applause there, and l’ve been coming here for quite a while.

DYLAN That makes me feel good. You know….

Pauses and turns away.

That makes me feel good.

QUESTIONS Are you religious?

DYLAN Uh, well, I don’t know. What does that mean?

Religious. Does it mean you bow down to an idol or go to church every Sunday, or that kind of stuff?

QUESTIONS Do you believe in …

DYLAN I don’t believe in anything. No, why should I

believe in anything? I don’t see anything to believe in.

QUESTIONS Are you cynical?

Hotel manager enters, accosts Grossman.

HOTEL MANAGER Who’s in charge?

HOTEL MANAGER Who is in charge of this room?
