Busy weekend

This past weekend was incredibly busy but also REALLY exciting!  On Friday evening, I had the pleasure of giving a talk (pictured below) about evolution to the meetup group Provocateurs and Peacemakers.  The mission of this group is to provoke intellectual discussion about various (sometimes charged) topics while at the same time maintaining peace and civility.  We had some rich conversations that carried over to the Blue Moose afterward.  I met some really fascinating and fun people and got to catch up with the group members.  Then on Saturday Dr. Bill Sturgill (Rockhurst Psychology  Dept.) and I took a few items to PBS's Antiques Roadshow for appraisal.  It was interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of the show.  We didn't bring anything worth millions (or even thousands),

but it was still exciting.  Then on Sunday, my great friend and I and her fun family participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to raise money for breast cancer research.  A montage of the experience is pictured above.  What a weekend!  Now, to get ready for the school year to start...
