My hat's off to you, Myzen, for getting onstage -- and despite your panic attacks. And having the black rapper come up to you with a compliment -- Way cool, as my students say.

I used to teach a lecture of a hundred students. When anyone would come up to me and tell me I was the best teacher, or a presentation had really grabbed them, I was on cloud 9 for days.

Performing my own, personal, gut-wrenching, creative work -- I can hardly imagine doing that!

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
