One Busy Month! (More to follow...)

Well, September sure flew by!

School started August 30th, and I've been busy ever since.

Comparatively speaking, I'm still skating. Many of my co-workers have school age children, and their afternoon and evening schedules make mine look semi-retired.

Never-the-less, between extra union meetings, Board Meetings, and getting back into the swing of a "normal" work week, I have been neglecting this blog.

I've even neglected reading many blogs. But... hopefully... I'm back!

So what's new in my life?

The TV series Bones -- My wife and I have watched most of 4 or 5 seasons: dark humor and great character development surrounding a geeky police procedural.

Joel, enjoying BC's waterways

Changes on campus -- more stress on my co-workers: bigger classes, looming pay gouges instead of pay cuts, new computer programs (and glitches), and a new aide for me.

A great week-long visit from my youngest daughter.


And, I started a new credential program: Preliminary Administrative Services Credential (PASC). It meets one Friday/Saturday a month for 14 months. Last weekend was the beginning. I'm lovin' it.


So that's the mini-update from 36,000 feet. I'm a zoom-out, zoom-in kind of guy... perhaps next post I'll zoom in on something from this big picture: the life of Don.

  1. Glad you seem to be doing fine. Was a bit worried that the silence was due to political turmoil.

  4. @Dennis: Thanks for the concern and comment. Political turmoil did add to the silence somewhat. I like to keep things positive... and that is sometimes difficult when negatives are falling like rain. Thank God for umbrellas! ;-)

    @Rae: Glad to read you're own back-to-school as a student is going well. I love your WTF Friday posts.

    @September: Glad you liked the pics. I scoured about to find a good representation. Love them kids and grandkids. It's fun when they're little like yours, and it's fun when they're "big" like mine. ;-)
