Last gathering of the semester and for the year. Lots to talk about, but let’s keep it light. I’ll upscale the eats and let’s just relax and chit-chat about whatever you like. Bring a song that mattered this year — we’ll turn on a player, listen to your music, and kick it. See you this […]
As always, a news-filled week with much to discuss. This week, let’s make the attempt to chat about a few topics: AIDS -particularly laws and other policy considerations that mandate discolure; what you’re willing to do to support ending the conflict in Afghanistan; and love on Marsh Plaza. See you this afternoon – 3 – […]
Can anybody win on Afghanistan? Last night, President O stepped up to the mic to drop a few lines about how he plans to get my back over the next few years; my responsibility to the world; and, why I need to give up some more cash (and soon). The Pres had a tough assignment: […]
A few great memories, for me, happened inside Madison Square Garden — sneaking down to the front row, hot dog and soda in hand, to get a closer look at Clyde and the Pearl; and, being a part of one of the biggest, greatest, most energetic BU community experiences at MSG (two years ago). Our […]
We’re on hiatis until after the Fall recess. Enjoy the break. All the best to you and you loved ones. See you on Friday, December 4. Stay safe and stay well, Peace.
I still believe that love is the most durable power in the world. Over the centuries men have sought to discover the highest good. This has been the chief quest of ethical philosophy. This was one of the big questions of Greek philosophy. The Epicureans and the Stoics sought to answer it; Plato and Aristotle […]
I can’t talk today (dental work) — you can. Still lots to discuss and so little time. Free your flow for a free flow Friday Coffee and Conversation. I’ll bring the coffee, cookies, and my listening cap, you bring topic suggestions and your conversation. See you, today, from 3 – 5 p.m. in the Howard […]
Yeah, I saw it — derprintergang’s “Der Printergang” video: (Also saw the same video, with different captions, on a variety of other subjects.) Students, as Nazis, concerned about University print policies and residential computer labs – I know it’s over the top, and I do get the point – ouch! Heard the word on the […]
Saw this clip from The Colbert Report and it reminded me that we still haven’t had the conversation about America’s struggle with race: So, in this country, is it as we thought – that Obama’s election vindicates the civil rights movement and its creation of a culture where we all can truly be President? Didn’t […]
Big parental warning for this video- may be too intense for some viewers: What are you afraid of? Shopping; global climate change; swimming; finding a job; snakes; nuclear proliferation; the start of a New York Knicks season; death; the future; or, Saw VII. We spend a lot of time, effort, and resources dealing with our […]
