Good Lord, I didn’t post my wish list
Wow, turns out I didn’t post my Amazon wishlist previously. Well, here’s a healthy mix of music and books that I have been craving. If you can find it used, all the power to you! The link is at the bottom of this post.
I’ve kind of bought the knicknacks that I already have desired this [...]

Post-Thanksgivingness
So for Thanksgiving break I was a bum and mainly slept. I haven’t felt this well-rested in years, which is mildly spooky. Right now I’m at a very slow college fair (nice scheduling, the Monday after Thankgsiving break), and waiting slowly to go crazy.

Wow…ciao, fall travel
Well, I’m officially done with Fall Travel AND Fall Preview Day, making me a happy but extremely tired Admissions counselor. From here on out, it’s just catching up, and file review.
Oh, and I’m part of some IT committee, as well.
I’ve ordered my first batch of gifts for people, and I’ve also updated my [...]

South Bend, the land that time forgot
Or, “Oh My, I’m in a flood.”
I’ve never driven so much with my windshield wipers on the maximum setting. Right now I’m in South Bend, sitting in a gorgeousBed and Breakfast.
My time here on the peninsula has been pleasant, if not completely soaked. I always enjoy the coast, and I drove along Highway 105, which [...]

Halloween Aftermath
I just finished reading American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. I picked it up when I was at Powell’s bookstore in Portland, and couldn’t put it down while I was on the road in Oregon.
Soon I’ll be hitting the trails to venture toward Southwest Washington to do high school visits. Perhaps I’ll dust off my hiking [...]
