* I couldn't be happier with the fantastic reception I received for my presentation Friday night at Lenoir-Rhyne University. Many thanks to everyone who attended!


* On a related note, I wanted to be sure that I posted information about the free Cherokee (Tsalagi) language courses available through iTunes.

-- Here are two podcasts:
Culturev Cherokee Podcast
NDNTV: Native American Language Revitalization Tools

-- The following are available through iTunes U:
Emory University > Academics & Research > Cherokee (Tsalagi)
Western Carolina University > Cherokee Language 101


* After bravely enduring several surgeries and a related infection, our best friend Virginia is very much on the mend. Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes her way for her recovery. Here she is, working hard at her recuperation:




"March is the month of expectation,
The things we do not know,
The Persons of Prognostication
Are coming now.
We try to sham becoming firmness,
But pompous joy
Betrays us, as his first betrothal
Betrays a boy."
- Emily Dickinson, XLVIII
