Jake,

Thanks for the Felner career vita. He looks good on paper. Too bad short cuts were taken with reference checks.

Jake,
Sorry, Jake. I thought “prosetry” would do the trick, but I guess not. Most all of it has been on the issues and comments, but from now on I’ll hold them down. Don’t want to do any havoc to the great service you provide. Thanks for all you do for us, the campus, the city, and the state.

BW: Looks like it's been scrubbed from the University of Louisville's website. Luckily, I archived a copy and it can be viewed by clicking here. (PDF Link)

Jake,

Thank you for all of your hard work. Do you know where I can see a copy of Robert Felner’s career vita?

For the final time, I totally recognize that writing poetry about the situation is quite a creative outlet. But please save poetry for the occasional comment or for your own purposes.

Please only leave comments on the site that could be considered discussion/conversation.

I appreciate the comments and site participation, but please be understanding when it comes to what we request. Most days it’s just me monitoring comments (and we receive thousands upon thousands across our multiple sites) and on the best days it’s just a few people monitoring comments. We can’t keep up.

“Fiddlin’ with a Major Campus & City”

NY Times speaks of a big mortgage crisis in our city while JR, SW, et al., listen to Conway Twitty. The poor kids fan out all over the place. Sometimes they reek havoc with their mace. Schools are fixin’ to go to hell. Yet JR, SW, et al., can hardly tell. Come on, man, get off your can–the CEHD needs major overhaul. But you wait and fake–just preparin’ your fall.
P.S. At least Bobby is contributin’ to the mortgage meltdown–in a huge wavy way.

“Bobby and the Felons”

Today I registered several felons (to vote, of course). The pleasantness was their demeanor:
nice, not coarse. They compared positively to Bobby (parenthesis: right– an easy feat). He really comes out quite wobbly. Bobby’s coarse beyond repair; for human life, he doesn’t care. Wonder what’ll happen when he’s a felon, too? Of course, we have a clue: He’ll still be mean, rotten to the core. But after eight or so years in prison, his story’ll be a bore.

“John Dewey, We Hardly Knew Ye”

Blowin’ in the wind, you hit it just fine. “Deep in the real work of education” is right on the dime. But we forget that process and practice. Instead, we spin on the wheels of our PR axis. Dewey said education should begin at home. Yet we get caught up in flabby foam. We miss the substance for the glitzy gloss: Beer, circus, and Bobby grew dirty brown moss.
