Mike left this Saturday for an eight-day trip to Chicago for work. He was in Chicago the week before that for four days for an interview. And a few weeks, I’ll be leaving for three days.

Dear Baby, This has been an exciting week! I always worry that something has happened to you –that you’ve been hurt and are no longer growing quickly.

Last night I started a new class – Web Publishing – HTML 1.

Read MoreNubbin-like Thoughts.
In my head: Sometimes I really miss working with kids. So. Many. Funny. Stories. (Like that time they though Hillary Clinton was in a Soulja Boy video and that I’m short because I have a hole in my heart. Seriously entertaining.)
