Yes, I just took a short break from the lecture action to take in some U.S. Open tennis action. While Sharapova lost, it was thrilling to see Federer, Nadal, and Blake win their matches. If you ever find yourself in New York this time of year, try to get a ticket. The day and night sessions are exciting in their own ways, the competition is fierce and fun, and the tournament is well-run (including its commitment to gender pay equity). 

What a great first week of the school year! After the fun first visit to Alabama, 500 students came out to hear the lecture at Eckerd College (nice tradition we're building there!), and then over 1,000 packed the ballroom at WVU. The response at both colleges was overwhelming, with attendees enjoying the new sex-positive video that's part of the show. (More on that in a future posting.)

Who says students in the South don't dig sex?
