Winter Wonderland

Woke up this morning to real honest-to-goodness snow, about four inches.  Mind you, this isn't the first snow we've had this year, that was actually on Thanksgiving.  Yep, we got a dusting on Thanksgiving, but the ground wasn't quite frozen so everything melted by afternoon.  And we've had flurries almost every day since Thanksgiving, but today was the first day of nice, measureable snow.  Yea.  You gotta love it - snow kills everything I'm allergic to.

Worked on my home work assignments and a handy-dandy website list for my students.  Classes start next week.  Monday is TB150 Office for Idiots.  (OK, "Computer productivity and software" (for non-majors) but it should be a really, really fun class to teach.  I'm just nervous cause I've got four PowerPoints that I have to get through, plus labs.  Wednesday I've actually got planned out a bit better, it's "Microsoft Operating System" which is basically XP.  Now, what my boss probably didn't realise is the class is part of the MS adminstrator's track, and I'm only certified as a MCP and MCDST (desktop support), but I think the class will be kinda' fun - lots of hands-on, which should be good for my students.

Not much else to say, so I'll sign off for now.

Indiana Skyline Photos

more photos

Hi, this and the previous one are photos that I took about ten years ago (or more) while traveling back and forth between Michigan and school in Indiana (Indiana University - Bloomington).  I had my Journalism camera with me, so I pulled over on the relatively deserted expressway and took some shots.  These were taken with a fully manual 35mm film camera (I miss having one of those).
Enjoy!
