I must say. It’s nice to get away. I’m having a great time here in Columbus, MS. Especially now that I have half of my latte in me  

At my core I’m a writer and a teacher and for the last 24 hours and the rest of today, I’m living that role with a great passion, excitement and resolve.  

Next on the agenda is to finalize my slides for the Miller lecture here at 12:30 PM.  Then some time watching fitness testing that MUW provides for the local community.  Later this afternoon, I’m looking forward to a long walk through the neighborhood and an opportunity to spend time with my third biggest passion – photography.  Remember, in my last post I placed a slide show of ALL the photos I’m taking while here.  You can view that by clicking here. 

For now, stay tuned to my twitter updates for more by the minute coverage and also don’t forget to read my first post in this series for the Miller lecture about why your resume is out of date, and maybe even dead!
