Bruce Whittenberg replied to Humanities Roundtable's discussion 'One Book Montana - Blind Your Ponies'
"I thoroughly enjoyed Blind Your Ponies. It was a great example of character development and small town culture.
I also had a sort of personal connection as my father was a high school basketball coach. This was a book that by the time I…"

Bruce Whittenberg replied to Ken Egan's discussion '?RUReading?'
"Just finishing up "Blind Your Ponies" by Stanley Gordon West. You all are probably way ahead of me on this one, but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. I'm really enjoying the characters and the gradual development of the…"
Bruce Whittenberg replied to Ken Egan's discussion '"Obscure" Films We'd Recommend' in the group Film Club
"OK, I'm wading into some heavy seas with you guys here, but a couple of my old classics, and somewhat obscure, are "Streets of Fire" and "The Warriors." Both are rock and roll movies in a sense, and very dark. Streets of…"
Kim Anderson replied to Bruce Whittenberg's discussion 'It's Complicated' in the group Film Club
"On New Year's Day I went with friends to see Up In the Air, then later that night watched It's Complicated on dvd at home (little perks of having a friend in the Film Academy who gets Awards Screeners, but it probably costs more than…"
Chérie Newman replied to Bruce Whittenberg's discussion 'It's Complicated' in the group Film Club
"Yes. Lots of fun and lots of gourmet food. And not too much man-bashing, past tendency of screen writer Nancy Meyers (The Holiday, Something's Gotta Give, What Women Want). Maybe my middle-class roots are showing, but I didn't get why Merl…"
Ken Egan replied to Bruce Whittenberg's discussion 'It's Complicated' in the group Film Club
"I'm looking forward to this one, Bruce. Read a few reviews that took the film to task for being so, well, unselfconscious about the upper-middle-class lifestyles of the characters. Also considerable talk about Nancy Meyers being "the most…"

It's Complicated
Enjoyed Avatar (2D, though) and Up in the Air. Looking forward to reading Walter Kirn's book, which was in my Christmas stocking. Also enjoyed It's Complicated with Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. Baldwin is a great comic actor. Believe it or not, Martin sort of plays the straight man. A baby boomer movie with lots of humor.

Chairman Leach, "Bridging Cultures"
If you haven't yet seen the speech by NEH Chairman Jim Leach, please look it over.

Bruce Whittenberg commented on Bruce Whittenberg's blog post 'Billings Community Conversations'
"Lisa, I apologize for not responding to your post earlier. Shame on me for not seeing it.
This has been quite a process, and the City Council agonized over the questions, format, everything. It was perceived as much more of a risk than it was. All…"

Billings Community Conversations
As an outcome of the January 30 Can We Talk? workshop in Billings, featuring Patricia Hughes, author of Gracious Space. The City of Billings has taken some rather extraordinary steps.

Then, a series of eight Community Conversations were scheduled to discuss issues identified as important in a recent city-wide survey. Gracious Space is the background and the conversation cafes…See More
Lisa Simon commented on Bruce Whittenberg's blog post 'Billings Community Conversations'
"Thanks for sharing Bruce. I would be interested to hear how the conversations were structured. I can see from your post that they centered around certain issues-- what were those issues (did they emerge as theme words like "Cooperation")?…"

Humanities Montana at Leadership Montana
Ken Egan spoke to the Leadership Montana Class of 2009 and did a terrific job of explaining the humanities (I'm getting closer to understanding) and creating some energy around the public affairs initiative, Speakers Bureau, Book Fest, etc.
Thanks, Ken for spreading the good work of HM.

Good idea, Ken!
I'm getting real good with Facebook keeping up with my sons, Jon, who is in Italy, and Jake in Columbus, Ohio. The new "social media" is really interesting. Makes me think about the humanities content that is being delivered in new and exciting ways. Should be fun and interesting to have a HM site.

Jan Umphrey posted a blog postCall for manuscripts about your work in humanities-based classes
I'm the editor of a magazine, Principal Leadership, which is published by NASSP and has about 25,000 readers. I am seeking manuscripts for the October issue about the state of humanities in public secondary schools. This forum is a wonderful exchange of ideas, and I'm so heartened to see the humanities being supported.I would love to hear about successful programs and strategies for keeping such classes strong in the face of challenges from…See More
Ken Egan replied to Humanities Roundtable's discussion 'The Trail Book Club - The Royal Wulff Murders'"Good response, Kathleen! You raise many questions for others to consider. Just two questions on my part: What do you make of Martha Ettinger, the lead detective (sheriff) in Royal Wulff Murders? She's a Montana woman who loves…"
"Did anyone notice Charles Johnson's article about the gubernatorial candidates, where Neil Livingstone promised to call a Constitutional Convention, in particular, to get rid of the "clean and healthful environment" language?"
