MBA progess etc., Philosophy, Myths and Books

Finished two more courses of my MBA today with exams for Contemporary People Management and Strategic Management. The latter would be quite amusing for Brendan E; it was entirely dedicated to Nike, whom I discover neither make or sell shoes. Assuming I've passed both of these (a fair assumption) this means I've completed all all the rerequisite units for the qualification with only four elective units to do. I must confess I am rather unsure of what to select from the offerings and will spend some time considering these choices - and for that matter how many I do. I could be enthusiastic and try to get the lot done over summer, the equivalent of a full-time load. In other qualifications did the refresher course for my First Aid Certificate. The trainer wasn't very good; when people didn't understand his questions his strategy was to repeat himself, but louder. He also tried to tell us that a blood glucose level of 12 was normal for diabetics. I think that's a very dangerous thing to teach.

Last Sunday conducted a dual presentation with Rick Barker at the Unitarian Philosophy Forum on Teleology and Free Will. Deriving heavily from Aristotle which follows a somewhat Hellenic-centric approach we've had recently at the Forum, which will be followed up with The Hellenic Origins of Philosophy. Appropriately, I've just picked up the Folio Society edition of Graves' Greek Myths, a set both flawed and beautiful. Actually I should also mention that recently picked up a 1674 edition of Beuvelet's Meditations on the Principles of Truth and a mid-19th century Byron set. I am justly worried that I might be acquiring yet another hobby.
