Marsha Keeffers last blog post..New York Times: Gregory Berns of Emory University – How Fear Impairs Decison-Making
You’re welcome, Marsha! Although it was only peripherally related to the topic, it was enough for me to include it in our list this month. Please drop by again for our next one!
Well, Robert. Beside of your post, I’ve also read Joanna and Brad’s posts. By the way, I need to boil a pot of hot tea and spending my time to read on all the great posts…
Better reserve a lotta time, Wilson. You’re gonna need it!
Robert,
What a wonderful collection — on a fantastic topic! Wanted so badly to join in this time around, but couldn’t manage to find the time. :’( Work’s just been keeping me a bit too busy lately.
May just write my post anyway. (I seem to remember reading something in your WILF announcement post about late submissions being OK.
Definitely appreciate that flexibility!)
Jeanne
Hey, it just ain’t the same without you, Jeanne! So whenever you write it, send me the link and I’ll update the list, ‘K?
(Happy to hear you’re busy, though!)
