Join us tonight for a Meting of the Minds book
discussion group and Friday November 12 at 10:30 a.m.
for a Project Healthy program on diabetes.

Join Tom Peters, discussion leader for the Meting of
the Minds online book discussion group on
Wednesday, November 10, 2004 beginning at 8:00 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time, 7:00 Central, 6:00 Mountain,
and 5:00 Pacific:
The Meting of the Minds Online Book Discussion Group
will be discussing the novel Where Do You Stop? by
Eric Kraft. Intrepid and inquisitive Peter Leroy's
7th-grade year centers around a fascinating but
never-ending science paper. But he still has time to
build a lighthouse (or watchtower), lust after older
women, bug his grandfather (who is sharecropping a
miniature wheat field in Peter's backyard), and submit
his invention to a television show.
