My favorite quotes
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.Mahatma Gandhi, (attributed)
Indian ascetic & nationalist leader (1869 - 1948)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

Wow...time to do other things
Ahhh today is a good day, because:
- All of the papers are graded for my classes, well at least until the final papers come in but they are nowhere near as time consuming to grade as the first drafts.
- BROG's book chapter is complete and heading, shortly, for the editor.
With those things done I have a day or two to do some non-academic things before I throw myself into April:
- More grading, and final lesson planning
- More research
- Conference abstract
- Publication abstract
- And the whole getting ready for Colorado/packing stuff.
So what do I get to do for the next couple of days?
- Financial paperwork, it is that time of year
- Clean the study up
- Odds and ends of things that have been piling up while other things took precedence.
- Annual Report preparation
- Maybe if it stays warm I can go outside and sit and play my flute too. WOW!
