Jordan Peterson Lecture: A Great Date

On Monday, Daniel and I went to a lecture in Durham given by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. Grateful that I had agreed to drive 2+ hours on a weeknight to go with him, Daniel turned the whole evening into a date. He found a wonderful brewery and burgers place in downtown Durham for dinner. (They had some of the BEST homemade icecream I've ever had). Then, we walked around the American Tobacco Campus before the event started in the DPAC. It was really neat to be in another city - especially one that had so much brick architecture to look at.

I think one of the things that made the date special was the fact that we were able to intellectually engage in something complex. Now that college is over, lectures and intellectual events simply aren't at the top of our to do list anymore. Going to this lecture brought up a lot of really interesting topics to discuss - especially since it seemed the majority of Dr. Peterson's lecture was about child development and literature. (It's like he knew I was going to be there).
