So life in The Midwest is interesting. Lots of nice Christmas decorations though. Just had an interesting week at school, as the other half of the department resigned last week. Lots of whisperings in the staff lounge and conversations that stop as soon as I walk in the door. Think it's just me being paranoid? Gotta wonder. I love Fridays with the whole weekend spanned out in front of me; makes me not want to go to sleep so it might last longer. What to write, what to write. What am I supposed to write knowing anyone could look this up and easily know the things I only want certain people to know? Suppose I can't trust it then, and will have to reserve those thoughts for emails. Mike and I are debating going up to Tahoe tomorrow, for the umpteenth weekend in a row.... Wish I had that 4x4 pickup truck right about now. Ah well, perhaps next winter. :) Anyhow, to all of you who read this but who may not talk to me that soon, happy holidays! More in a day or two....
