Beware the Pure Spirit, Let the Flesh Instruct the Mind

"Star Me Kitten" or "Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty, Little Ball of Fur?"  I continue to be stalked on a daily basis. Meow's that for a ferocious predator?

Yes, it's a picture of a urinal in Burgin Dossett. No, that is not my Mountain Dew, nor is that my urine. I just happened to walk in and the situation demanded that I take a picture.  I am assuming that the liquid inside the bottle is soda and not in fact a urine sample gone bad. I did not bother to investigate this further. THAT would be creepy. 

Tonight's class consisted of a well read, well prepared LGBT panel who were more than ready to share with my undergraduates tonight.  One of our local LGBT advocates is none other than Eureka O'Hara. She completely disarmed the class with her presence and humor. Topics were varied and questions came from the class - what is it like to live in the South? Why do many LGBT people wait until after they graduate or move away or after they retire (from sports) to come out? What about the role of religion in your lives? Nature versus nurture? What have your experiences been like in the health care arena?  Are you out? Does your family know? What's the big deal?  There was lots of good discussion all around from all of the panel.

Beautiful day.
