Today's final class on Running in the Family is now posted for you to read on BlackBoard. To access our course, simply go to http://bb.uvm.edu and look for our course name listed under the courses in which you are currently enrolled. Once you have read that material, head over to our course blog at http://pmartin.blog.uvm.edu/180 to answer the blog assignment for Running in the Family.

With the forced cancellation of today's class, we will NOT have the midterm exam on Thursday as scheduled. Instead, please start reading Mauve Desert and we will start discussing that book on Thursday, October 29. We'll talk briefly about the midterm on Thursday and you will write the exam on Tuesday, November 3.

If I am still under the weather with the flu on Thursday, we will again have a class online on BlackBoard.

Thanks for all your e-mails of support. I'm happy to pass along that my son is now back home from the hospital and feeling much better.
