I was wandering alone, but I do keep this image in mind as it would be my dream to have a walking partner...
But back to real life. I finished my Kellerman AND my "Summer Sunday" is "Summer Saturday" at the library, oh well...so I could not get a new book. So finding that out early in the day led me to wander around. I walked for a couple of hours then came home and walked to the pool and walked home. I did stop by Talbots since I was so impressed with what the Newport Talbots had to offer (when my sisters dragged me in there on Friday) but I was very disappointed. Very bad offerings in the local Talbots.
I left the house around 12:30 p.m. and got home from the entire wander at 5 p.m. So at that point it was eat and get ready for Q&A. Very interesting guests about putting Economics theory in Rap Videos. I am sorry that this is the way people might prefer to learn, but I found both guests inspiring as to finding their niche and running with it. Here is a bit about both of them.
"Our guests are Russ Roberts, Economics Professor at George Mason University and host of the weekly podcast series “EconTalk,” and John Papola, a filmmaker and entertainment marketing executive. They have collaborated on the creation of two rap videos about economics. The most recent is called “Fight of the Century.” The rap videos cover the contrasting beliefs of economists John Maynard Keynes and Frederick Hayek. Topics covered in the rap videos include government spending, interest rates, and consumption of goods. The two videos combined have had over 3.3 million viewings on YouTube. In addition to hosting a podcast and teaching, Russ Roberts is a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and is a contributor to the blog “Cafe Hayek.” He is the former director of the Center for Experiential Learning at Washington University in Saint Louis and the author of three books. John Papola is former creative director at Spike TV. He has also worked at MTV and Nickelodeon. His blog is called “But What the Hell Do I Know.”"
Today work, walk, swim, Bachelorette. Maybe a quick swing by the VSW at some point this week even if my new boss does not set up a meeting. Want to get this stuff off my home desk and back to school.
Payroll Monday, so I better get going.
