Greetings everyone,

 I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday night. But first, I wanted to take the opportunity to invite anyone interested in joining me at the contra dance on Wednesday. 

This is not required, has no bearing on your grade, and is purely an attempt to see you all in a social setting.

 Also, as we begin the semester, I thought I would share some of the words of the Dalai Lama.

"Modern education is premised strongly on materialistic values. It is vital that when educating our children’s brains that we do not neglect to educate their hearts, a key element of which has to be the nurturing of our compassionate nature."

 Sounds like he has been listening to our lectures on global citizenship. Maybe we should teach him how to play mbira...

 Talk to you soon,

 Dr. McDonald
