Gossip ("god's siblings")

Dear John,

You can see how your "chatter" assessment
of FacultyL  roused me out of my stupor and
compelled me to think about the President's
Committee on Sustainability, Resilience, and
Environment.  I apologize for persisting, but
it's possible these days. All of us finger-tip
away - no reaching-out necessary.
(Brave new whirl.)

I provoked not even a riposte  or spat let alone
chatter so  it must be the Faculty agrees with
your assessment.
 
I understand.
 
Like trying to get students to talk in class.
Raise the dead. Miracle work.  My  first class
here (71)  in Carson Basement, I  asked a
question to a small group of 8 o'clock scholars
and waited the whole hour  for a response
that never arrived.  
 
Even now a days, a period will pass with no
 talk-in-air.
 
Re-creational converse action across our
curricular frontiers— loose  border trespass,
trans & digression;  Golds cerebral  and
affective gymnasium (“naked training”) :
it’ll happen eventually.

Ongoing Hyde Park. Media Tech has
reconfigured the  educational if not yet
institutional environment & we’re simply
suffering  the cultural lag it  takes until
someone in The Chronicle  of Higher Ed
or SACS  makes it cool, or a standard for
compliance: rubric assessment-evidence
of extra  curricular chatter ( not to be
collapsed,  conflated, or confused with
professional  publication,  faculty forum,
or lunch room kibitzing. Takes a village.
Collaborative genius.
