What happened to Thursday?

Whew! It is 3 a.m. Friday, and I couldn't sleep, so I am posting a blog for Thursday. I was too busy to blog all day. It started early and went on until very late. I had three classes, a couple meetings and tons of campus e-mail about the current uproar on campus over a reorganization. I am trying to concentrate on teaching and learning and stay out of the fray.
In my evening class on media history, we watched Good Night and Good Luck, which, of course, is about animportant episode i media history. I think it is a fine film, but I wish it had told a little more about Edward R. Murrow, who almost singlehandedly invented broadcast journaism. It jsut concentrated on one brief episode in his career, but I suppose it was a very telling episode. It certainly told the students a lot about television inteh 1950s.

Three things I am grateful for today:

• My home: I have a lovely, safe and comfortable home that my wife and I designed ourselves. How lucky can a person get?
• My laptop. This Dell Inspiron is working just fine. It sure is handy.
• My students. I learn more from them than they learn from me. It is a wonderful relationship.
