Here’s an interesting article about the benefits of fandom.

Monday Sept 8

Shawn Klein September 8th, 2008

PHI 103-1 @ 11 am and PHI 276-1 @ 1pm are canceled for today, Monday Sept 8 due to illness.

Please prepare for Wednesday’s class as you would have for today’s class: we’ll pick up where we left off. Any papers that would have been handed in today, will be collected on Wednesday.

For now, I am NOT canceling PHI 103-2 at 6 pm. I am hoping to feel well enough to make it.

Please email me with any questions or concerns.
