Breakfast was courtesy of me. I brought fresh fruit, mini cinnamon rolls, and mini blueberry muffins.

Topic courtesy of Tashia: The greatest story told over and over—man vs. man aka public image vs private self.

Sharing:
Bertha told us a story about her son that is told over and over. He left his little sister to be eaten by a lion.
Peter talked about celebrities and how we’re taken in by their private lives. People make celebrities and people break celebrities.
(I think people take perverse pleasure in tearing down others.)
David: wrote about the Bobby Knight of choral directors. Note: Never take a shower after a man. Don’t ask.
Tashia: Inspired by Virginia Woolf, Public vs Private Lives. How do people pleasers behave when there are no people to please? If we were all real with people we would be hermits.
Christy: Dixie Chicks and double standards.
Donna: Conflict? Run when you can. Doesn’t tilt at windmills. Doesn’t sponsor lost causes.

Kimberly presented the log…a looping activity. Confusing to me, but fun. Pour me some more coffee.

Breaktime! Yea! Too much coffee.

We reconvened for Hayden’s teaching demo on Virginia Woolf’s “A Room of One’s Own.” Her presentation was enlightening, interactive, and gave us all lots to critically think about. And she made the yummiest Peppermint Patty Brownies, I can attest because I ate two of ‘em.

Lunch as usual. Most returned close to the designated time.

The afternoon was spent in small groups for writing and reading. David entertained us all with his renditions of our future t-shirt. For alternate ideas and designs, I suggested CafePress.
