LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Spring is not yet here (definitely not in Missoula as we just received a massive flurry of snow) and I’m already planning for summer. It’s a bit unlike me, but lets give it a whirl.

Some conferences/classes I’d like to be in/at this summer (and spring):

Journal articles and book chapters I hope to write:

Christmas & Philosophy:The Perfect Stocking Stuffer (a book)
Scott C. Lowe, Bloomsburg University [email protected]

· Abstract of paper (approximately 250 words) due by March 15, 2009
· Accepted authors will receive notification by April 15, 2009
· Accepted papers must be submitted by September 1, 2009
· Final papers must be between 4000-5000 words

The UK Association of Buddhist Studies
will hold its 2009 conference some time in July in London (hopefully I can be there then!)

Actually I think that’s about it for writing. I should try to get something together for the Journal of Buddhist Ethics by June though, along with my scheduled talk at UM on “Buddhist Meditation as a Moral Activity” coming up in April. Oh, and then there’s that pesky thesis work…

Looks like there are a couple deadlines looming, so I’d best be off to work! The idea of jumping from a Castle in Cork to London and China dies sound appealing…

Any suggestions are always welcome.
