Recent Events
Hello (after way too long a hiatus from blog-updating and various other communications.) The last few months have been a very difficult season for us, and I am just now getting my head above water. The school year is finally completed, several post-school-year faculty obligations are essentially done, and thus vacation is now in full swing. Since it’s been two months since my last update, I thought that a simple listing of happenings might be the most helpful blog entry right now. You’ll note difficult items, good-but-labor-intensive-items, and of course some straight-up fun items as well:
