End of January = Beginning of Donkey Season

This strange heading may take some of you surprise, but I assure I did not mis-type. Katie is already experiencing the back-breaking loads of classtime and school work that raise her into the rarified atmosphere of feeling like an academic pack-mule or work-donkey...and it's only week 3 of her 3rd (of 6) semester.

I have been holding down the fort here (doing laundry, errands, cooking, etc.), and working 3 days a week at Mannes; but next week I go back to work at Hofstra and Hunter both. Therefore, my rocketship is about to blast off to a 6-days-per-week work-donkey orbit. So, the blog may be woefully neglected in the coming months. Fear not, as we will try our best to periodically update and post new pictures. It may just be that you have to wait 2-3 weeks between posts. And they might be tantalizingly brief.

The saving grace of the blog might be friends' visits. Such as the wonderful visit we had this weekend from our good friend Jara (who is now in Madison, WI with her husband, Ben, both working on MBAs). She was here as part of a delegation from her school; there were giving a presentation at a conference. She is a huge Chicago Bears fan and Sunday was spent parked in front of the TV with some snacks and drinks. Fun times, especially since the Bears wiped the floor with New Orleans! Jara is also an excellent baker and the tidy supply of extremely scrumptulescent cupcakes she baked are in danger of becoming extinct tonight.

Other visitors in the next few months include Ragan and my sister (both of "Dan and Bird's Eurotrip 2005" fame), and maybe Ben and Jara (again) ... and who knows else may pop up? So stay tuned...never a dull moment!
