CHBOLC: Days 25-26 “PowerPoint, A Group, and a Night on the Town”

I will do my best to keep doing daily posts, but there are some days when I just don’t have that much to report. Yesterday was all class time, most of which would not be very interesting to blog about. We had an introductory class of pluralism. We will be getting more in depth with [...]
