\"\"<\/a>First in 2009<\/h1>\n

Lots happening since we went off to take final examinations and to get a little R&R. Violence and fighting in Gaza; Obama’s decisions for his cabinet and person who’ll lead Inauguration prayers; fallout on Prop 8; politics in Illinois takes the national stage; bailouts for the right industries and people; Brittney back on the scene; and, the Patriots finish the season 11-5, but can’t take another run at a championship.<\/p>\n

For the first Coffee & Conversation for the new year, let’s do a re-cap and discuss what’s happened since December.\u00a0 A tall order, but I know you can do it.\u00a0 First gathering is Friday, January 16, 3 p.m. in the Howard Thurman Center.\u00a0 All are welcomed.\u00a0 I’ll have the coffee and cookies, you bring the conversation.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget – topic suggestions are always welcomed! Suggest a topic via e-mail to dos@bu.edu<\/a> or via a quick tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All the best in 2009! Stay well.<\/p>\n

P.S. Vibe for this post comes from T.I. latest CD (it’s good) – Whatever You Like<\/em>.\u00a0 (I know it’s reached pop status, but I like it.)<\/p>\n
