Alas the structure of the academic year in the UK (well my bit anyway) means
I am going on vacation tomorrow so I shall miss the beginning of the event
but I will catch up when I return. I found the Ilyenkov discussion, which I
observed from the sidelines, both intriguing and personally frustrating, as
I simply did not know enough to participate even peripherally. Is a major
issue for us pinch hitters getting started?

Subject: Leontiev Discussion
While rumoured to be sitting in a Paris cafe while conducting research
in Finland, one Yrjo Engestrom with excellent Nokia cell phone agreed
to engage with us in starting the Leontiev readings. He would like to
begin next week.
We have confirmed volunteers in paul dillon, peter jones, me, and nate, and
some rumoured pinch hitters waiting in the background.
Seems time to start.
I propose that we set a period of two weeks for discussion with the
Leontiev chapter being "the paper" focus. Nate has the text in various
formats for your individual tastes-- and will explain how to access and
use.
I am assuming Paul D for Chapter 2 and will negotiate with volunteer
facilitators about how we go from there.
In the meantime, I am going to keep my eyes on the screen in the hopes
that some of those who have not been joining the discussion will
comment on recent discussions or ask questions for future discussions,
or post a big of poetry, or....... as we say, ex=press themselves!
Instruction begins here tomorrow morning at 8am. Where have summer's
flowers gone?
