11.5 Wow. Life is full of surprises

I hope all of you are safe and well.  I feel pretty lucky my house didn't get crunched by a tree or flooded so that's good.  I don't have power or internet.  I am here at an internet cafe so this is going to be a short post, but I wanted to give you a heads up - and let you know your CNF course will be here waiting for you when you get back.

When we meet (this Wednesday or next - depending on Kean and whether or not you can get to campus) we will talk over how to put things together for the rest of the term.  

I wanted to ask  whether you wanted to write your last piece (another long piece?) about Sandy - or whether you want to work through a shortened version of the calender we have set up.  I am good either way.  In any case, I wanted to spend our first class together with some talk about what it is like to be in a hurricane  -and being glad to be  back together.  We will still do the rhetorical analysis project and we will have the final performance reading - for the rest of the particulars=> will can work things out to be responsive to the remarkable, annoying, excellent fact that life doesn't always go the way we plan. 

I will be on campus as soon as the school opens (especially because Kean will probably have power before I do). .  If you can't attend class and you let me know  I will try to be in touch with you.  

I am sending  all my thoughts and nonsectarian prayers your way.  Take care and be safe..
