Prose and Purpose

The Congressional compromise deficit reduction agreement is a very good end of the year present.

I am always impressed by how well network television presents pro sports. Network television has not provided equal time to the arts.

On more than one occasion, I have sat behind students taking notes at a lecture on their computer but also looking at Facebook, email and other websites almost seamlessly at the same time.

I am writing this blog on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy. I can still remember exactly where I was when the news was announced and can still remember how sad I was.

I am getting ready to be part of a reaccreditation team at an out of state university.

Both of my daughters are good athletes and both have been active at the school and the community level. My involvement, growing up, with athletics was, however, more limited.

The lead story in the Money and Investing section of the Wall Street Journal had an ominous headline that immediately caught my attention.

A good friend of mine asked me to advise the daughter of a good friend of his about college and I gladly said yes. I recognize what an important difference advisement can make.
