Well, in that respect, let us, Dear Reader, move on to the next topic. I just finished the most amazing book:
Iran Awakening: A Memoir of Revolution and Hope by Shirin Ebadi.
This book provides a surprisingly intimate look at Iran from a woman's perspective. Dr. Ebadi takes readers through the political history of Iran and allows us to see her experiences in the ever-changing political and legal climate. She is a very courageous woman, and I was most struck by how she continues to carry such hope and love for her country, even after all that it put her through. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is literate and likes to read.
The most exciting part is that I get to have lunch with her today. Also, she is the keynote speaker for Marquette's Mission Week, and her address will begin at 4:00pm at the Alumni Memorial Union in the Monaghan Ballroom. The event is open to the public, unfortunately tickets are sold out, but they are having a first-come, first-serve simulcast seating at AMU 157.

Thanks for the shout-out. But rather than appear to silence the discussion on our hybrids, I'd invite you to Dearborn to check out what we're doing first-hand. Consider it an open invitation; if you give me advance notice, I can connect you with some of the brightest minds working on this stuff.

Thank you, that would be pretty awesome, and, as a true academic, I relish the chance to learn more...about anything, really. I've never been to Detroit - my experience with MI is limited to a Circle Lake MI tour I took a few years back. Holland, Traverse City, and Aloha State park were the extent of that trip.
