I actually have thought for years that the closest thing to teaching is stand up comedy. You have a set, you have done it before in front of other audiences, but each audience is different and you have to be ready to pivot at a moment's notice. It's a combination of improv and practiced material.

Last one (I think): The characteristic Frankenstein’s monster outstretched arms thing started in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man because he’s gone blind (it’s a long story involving Bela Lugosi and a bad blood transfusion).

Today, I was proud to join New Yorkers for the 9/11 Day of Service at the Intrepid Museum. September 11th is a day we remember the terror and loss our city endured. It is also a day we remember the extraordinary courage, kindness and generosity New Yorkers showed one another.
