stuff i think

dark but lovely....

Yes, it's in the Song of Solomon, but it's exactly what came to my mind this morning when I poured myself a cup of Panera's best. Ummmm. Coffee good.

I'm hiding out at my favorite wifi-equipped bagel dive, organizing some thoughts for an upcoming speaking engagement. I was asked to speak at a fundraiser for a nonprofit...and said yes, not even beginning to think about how different that sort of setting is from where I normally teach. I tend to lean towards a 'teach people by tweaking them' approach which, my gut tells me, is not the best idea for a fundraiser.

Maybe we should take up the collection before I speak.
