I'm Here!

Believe it or not I'm actually posting and will participate in the family blog! Wasn't antisocial...just needed time and guidance. Thanks Stephanie for inviting me over and over and over again. We're testing this out and will post a pic next time.

Yahoooo!

What are you reading right now?

I asked on my facebook and my other blog what people are reading right now and got some good suggestions and a couple of trends. So before I share those with you, what are you reading right now?

Here are some selected photos from a great time in Estes Park. I have had trouble posting but here goes:

Back from vacation and will try to post some pictures

I am like everyone else, I guess, in that I plan to update everyday and then "things happen." Like this morning, I was going to write on both my blogs and then I got an email from one of my students with some wonderful news and then I answered it. And then another student walked in and we talked. Then a colleague came in and we talked. And now my day has started and I don't have those few minutes that I meant to set aside for the blogs. But I keep trying and will see if I can make it happen more regularly.

Anyway, we had a great vacation. We saw lots of fun and wonderous things. It was really great following Route 66, but we found no Tepees to stay in. Maybe next trip. We had a blast at Gfest, heard some good talks, watched all the quirky people, and Jack bought toys. We went on a boat archetectual tour that was fabulous. The guy really knew Chicago. And I got to see a side of the Mississippi that was new to me, coming from Baton Rouge. People actually go out on the river in little boats and fish and stuff :-).

So how is everyone else and where are you now?
