I'm watching the results roll in for Super Tuesday, and will withhold any political commentary for a change! Instead, I can comment that I was so excited to see "my" New York Giants win the Super Bowl. Hey... I was born and bred in New York.

Meanwhile, I enjoyed a great trip to California and Idaho last week (the photo is from a fun lecture at Lewis-Clark State College), and tomorrow I'm heading back to Norfolk for the third time in three semesters. Flying is a great opportunity to catch up on reading, and this time around I'm looking forward to The Brotherhood of the Disappearing Pants: A Field Guide to Conservative Sex Scandals. Hmm. I guess there's a little political commentary there...

Greetings from California, where I just finished a lecture for student-athletes in San Jose, and head further south and then to Idaho the next couple of days.

A sex study in the U.K. caught my eye. It suggests that promiscuity leads to academic failure. I suppose that's possible. But what exactly is "promiscuity," anyway? To me, it's one of those empty terms, like "abstinence." Easy words to toss about in moral judgment, but without clear definition. Isn't it too easy for any of us to define promiscuity as having one more sex partner than we've had?
