RE: Do you think people can truly change?

Can I get some insight on this one? Recently, I was told the answer is yes. I’ll leave you to sit on that for a while, and if it gets too overwhelming, I’ve got some news to distract you. If my organs were to prolapse and collapse prematurely, I’d cry out: Don’t take me away! I’ve just started loving my life!

Uh … anyways, right. News. THIS JUST IN: Goodbye Gregg Goldman, hello … somebody else! The search for a new University of Minnesota executive vice president for finance and operations has begun. If arts and entertainment is more your style, check out this review of Cafesjian Art Trust Museum’s “Abstraction & Ourselves” exhibit. If you do end up visiting, let me know what you think. I don’t have time to go. Lastly, take a look at our latest column on comparing career progress against your peers and how it helps no one. 

Read our news.

Eternally yours,
