And the stuff he had stored in his skinny bald head was amazing. Without his passion, I wouldn't have developed my own passion for economics. It can be a dry, boring subject unless you have a teacher like Ron who makes it very interesting and helps you make connections to real life you wouldn't have otherwise. I keep looking for books he's written to buy but they always seem to be out of stock. Seriously, you have to see him in action to appreciate what I experienced for 16 intensive weeks. He rocks.

Haven't read it yet. (I aready watched the TED seminar but hadn't read anything about the CBC botching up the deal to keep the theme song to HNIC from CTV's clutches, so I went with that story first. Hee.) Jill Bolte Taylor is in this week’s MacLeans in the indeep interview section at the front of the magazine. Haven’t read it yet.

I saw this video and couldn't stop thinking about it (Dr Jill Bolte Taylor I mean). I then bought her book MY STROKE OF INSIGHT and read it without being able to put it down. GREAT BOOK! I hope next they'll have a My Stroke of Insight learning class so I can get to where Dr Taylor got - without having the stroke of course!! The rest of the day!
