Back to School

... but not for me. While all of my friends in the academic world return to classes, I celebrate the quarter system -- one of the many advantages at OSU. We do not start classes for another three weeks! Of course, my friends hate me now. However, when I am teaching in June, the situation will be reversed.

My oldest daughter began second grade at her new school today, so it is a bit of a sad day. It is always scary sending your "baby" off to be in someone else's care for six and a half hours. She will do well, but it is a melancholy day for me.
