how a good plan goes bad

can't tell you how many posts i've written... in my head. one day when i'm in charge we'll have cameras built into our eyes so we can blink and take a photo, and we'll also be able to think and have thoughts typed up for us. of course, we'll need a on/off button with high reliability. until then i should update this.

it's been a wild month. where has july gone? we've been frantically working to get moodle completely ready for the semester including training and assistance for faculty. that's really the fun part. it gives me these moments that just remind me how much i enjoy what i'm doing.

the weekends seem to have blended together. i know we did fun stuff though. one weekend we spent in Delaware hanging out with R & B. we got to see the house we're staying in for a week in september, and i had my first taste of east coast fried oysters.

the next weekend i got to spend with my family and three of my favorite women (really, it's hard to use that term for me and my three college roommates--we're all grown up though), and their three babies. there is really nothing like picking up with friends like there hasn't been such vast time between being in the same room. it was a quick trip, but it felt like home.

last weekend we shared meals with two sets of friends and kelvin tried to kill me by taking me on a bike ride that included a few too many hills for me. i sat on the steps in front of a friends house and was so glad they weren't home to see my die on their stoop.

we're headed to detroit and on to niagra falls this coming week. i don't really have the time to take off a week of work, but i suppose it will be good to get away.
