Al Gore is giving a lecture at my school tomorrow. My hubby and I were lucky enough to get tickets. (We waited in line forever!) I may not agree with everything he says, but I'm super excited to get to hear him speak. The lecture is titled "Leading Voices in Public Health." Should be interesting!

That's really cool!!! I'd love to hear him speak, especially on that topic!

I bet you would love that lecture!

If I'm not completely exhausted when I get home, I'll give you a summary. I'm driving all day again today and then going straight to the lecture. I'll be ready for the weekend when it gets here! lol

He's one person that I don't think that I'd care to listen to. I don't agree with a lot of what he says.

We had an AMAZING turn-out and the lecture was great. I had no idea that Gore was such a good speaker with a hilarious sense of humor. I'm definitely grateful for the chance to hear him speak.

Gayle, as far as health issues, he discussed the effect of temperature and climate on the spread of disease. He talked about how insects become more prevalent during hotter seasons and therefore diseases are more common. He also discussed the fact that the cold often slows down the reproduction of bacteria. Judy probably has a much better understanding of that kind of thing than I do, but it was interesting.

Judy has a mad crush on Al Gore! Too bad he is married. He taught in Manhattan. I would have signed up for his class and batted my eyelashes at him.
