go hug someone!

last fall when i saw this dave matthews band video for the first time, i was so taken with it, i showed it to all my classes at the beginning of the term. for no particular reason, except that it makes you feel good inside-- kind of warm and glowy and smiley. and so that's what i told my students in my first two classes of the week yesterday: this really isn't related to class, but we're starting some speeches today and i want everyone to be relaxed and happy. i think i even said to my second class when i showed them the link to the video at our class website, and later explained about the whole Being A Good Audience smiling-nodding-encouraging it's-a-karma thing: "pass it forward, you know! be good to each other. go hug someone." they smiled and nodded. :)

DMB, "everyday" [i call it the "hug" video. some call it the "nicest video ever."]
