Well, here I am right in the middle of my lovely winter break. It's fantastic. I am really excited to be able to do ... well, a whole lotta nothing! I have been reading a lot of books -- all for thingsI am going to teach next semester so I am not stressed out for not having read them until right before/during when I teach them.... But so far I have read, oh, 4.5 books for school and 1.5 books for personal pleasure. It's nice. I am really on a roll! Anyhow, I finally got Gayle to sign up for a myspace account, which is fun, and I may sign up for a friendster one within a week or so. We'll see -- they are becoming too much to keep track of at this rate. Anyhow, I suppose I had best go and make a list of yarns I need to knit myself a kind of poncho thingy. More later! Hope the holidays are being kind to you!
