Hey, I bet you thought I forgot all about this course, didn't you????

No, I didn't! Just lots of stuff going on in the personal life that has made it difficult for me to give the attention needed to the next set of readings, which are very....dense. However, now I'm ready to go!

Let's say next Tuesday, June 5, for putting up the reading summaries, with the discussion entries to follow throughout the week. Okay??? And then hopefully we will be back on a more regular schedule.
