Hello from Raleigh, NC. I'm Rob Harris, and I think this is where I'm supposed to leave a post. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
Thanks for christening the blog, Rob. On a completely non-academic topic...if anyone is into mountain biking, Missoula has some spectacular trails. We posted the websites of a couple of local bike stores to call about rentals. You will find them at the bottom of the "travel and costs" page on the Center for Ethics website (www.umt.edu/ethics).
