Digging my friends

Only a philosophy prof. is likely to turn up unexpectedly at your door with a shovel and a trunk full of canna lilies and start digging in the front of your house--all the while expounding to your daughters on the quality of your dirt, the meaning of life, and the importance of knowing about Pablo Neruda.

Lizzy later posted on facebook, "I love my mom's friends." Yeah. Me too! All of you. Thank you for being xox

Read Liesl's blog at http://www.clottedcognition.com/ If you're a student who liked me, you're gonna love her, so take her class already! One of these days, we're gonna get that learning community together, Liesl--maybe with a service learning component involving community gardens?

  2. No cigar, but hey!
    *grin*
    I think it would be fab to marry those issues with some texts and movies that go alongside--Gattaca springs to mind for a movie because a student just wrote about the whole perfection argument using that. Let's brainstorm some texts. I think this could be a blast. Seriously! We need to do this!

  3. Let me think about it. Which means, several days of thinking.
