One of those days

... When I'm blown away by how lucky i am. Today:
- Policy class in the morning taught by Joel fleishman, THE man when it comes to philanthropy work (e.g. Used to be head if the Atlantic Philanthropies). Co-author of new book with tom tierney.
- just got out of a small group discussion with Tom tierney, the founder if the bridgespam group and former worldwide managing director of Bain consulting. He gave lots if life and career lessons - great experience.
- I'm about to listen to a talk by jeff rakes, CEO of the gates foundation and longtime exec at microsoft.
- tonight, going to a dinner at Joel fleishmans house. Attendees will be his students, Tom tierney, jeff rakes, and possibly dan ariely, Martin eakes (founder of Self Help), and likely a bunch of other luminaries.
- when I have free time, preparing to facilitate (with two others) a session during Fridays advances social entrepreneurship class on microfinance. My team is working with Greg dees (the professor), who is pretty much the father of social entrepreneurship as an academic discipline.

Anyway, interesting day. Apologies for typos and capitalization mistakes.
