I have just booked a work trip online to the Philippines. Transy has provided me with a monetary grant to spend two weeks this summer in Cebu to set up a May term course (hopefully for 2008) with my biology colleague Kathleen Jagger, who has traveled there with students before. It would be a service-learning course to teach students economics while actively engaging them with locals that need help. I will be learning about and setting up opportunities for Transy students to help small businesses to grow. Unfortunately with classes starting in early September, I will have to leave for Cebu about two weeks after we arrive back in the US. My body may not be back to normal KY time until Keeneland season starts again.

Can I safely bet we're rescheduling Oysterfest??
Great job on the blog, it looks like an amazing trip.
Back here, we're getting a lot of boating in, and just got back from Put-In Bay. Got a couple spots open on the houseboat trip 7/28 if you want to be gone EVERY weekend this summer! Thinking August 12 or 18 for the Napa trip, won't be meeting you guys and Neil in July.
Be safe, enjoy the hell out of Oz, and take lots of pics!

Oysterfest is still on, baby. Kelly will need a party break after restarting work on August 1st.
