Yesterday, I was listening to Vigen Guorian talk about Where the Wild Things Are while making salmon skin bacon (which was a big hit with the children, by the way), when the CD simply stopped playing. I tried everything to fix it: shaking it gently, glaring at it, scolding it, praying for it, pleading with it, turning it off and on, and so on and so forth.
But to no avail.
So…my CD player is headed to Granddad’s house for a time of healing. Hopefully, it’ll be back soon.

CiRCE 2010 Conference A Contemplation of Liberty |
For now, I am formulating my list of talks to discuss, but I don’t have a schedule because I don’t know how long it’ll take me to get my player back, and I work best when I’m able to listen in the kitchen, rather than having to lock myself in my office.
For now, this gives all of you time to receive your CDs, if you haven’t already, or to even purchase them if you have decided to join us.
Once I get the schedule up, those of you who want to see if you can download only the talks we’ll be discussing (you might have to call CiRCE to try to work that out) will be able to do so.
Oh! One last thing: those of you who have been perusing the CDs already, please continue to let me know, either in the comments or by email, which talks you want on the discussion list.
Thanks!

I’ve mostly listened (and shushed children) through Kern’s contemplation of liberty and, wow, just wow. It just came Wednesday, and we’ve been busy.
I’ve listened to a couple talks, and at least 2 or 3 referenced the talk “Mentor,” so it sounds like it’d be a good one to focus on.
Next up on the loading docket, I guess. 🙂
No CD player! Oh no! I am still getting the CDs slowly loaded onto my computer (they have no data for the tracks specified, so I have to manually enter it for each track). My computer lives in my kitchen. It is convenient and dangerous.
Banging the top of the CD player is my tactic of choice when it misbehaves. 🙂
