<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
A relatively quiet week - (must be the heat). Unquestionably
the
highlight was the summer intern talks and posters on Tuesday.
Congratulations again to all the students for putting on such
an
excellent show. (And as always, to Dallas Abbot for leading
it).
There is now tangible physical expression of the construction
of the
new Geochem building as work begins in earnest on the Parking
Lot.
At 3:30PM next Tuesday in the Monell Auditorium we will have
an Open
Meeting for Lamonters to provide and update on plans and handle
any
questions that folks may have about this major year long construction
effort. Please come along if you are interested.
For the past couple of decades I have evolved the habit of
automatically recording the national news on the VCR so I
can watch
it, (and fast forward through the trivia), when I get home
in the
evening. My network of choice changes with the years - but
I have
been with BBC for quite a while now. But just these past few
weeks I
have stopped doing it - world news has reached such a level
of
depressing insanity that an otherwise relaxing evening is
overwhelmed
by anger and frustration. I know denial does not work, but
sometimes
it makes you feel better. . . . . . . .I think I will get
my news
exclusively from the Colbert Report in the future.
It should be a beautiful weekend - enjoy.
- Mike
