Getting away

I went to the beach with relatives for four days of eating, sleeping, and catching up. I did not bring my computer. I didn't even bring a book. There was a lot of down time to just be blank. A nun-aunt of mine and

I am taking the first semester of 2005-2006 off. Mostly, I'm staying put, but I needed to free up time to take care of my projects, most notably the grade school stuff, the national strategic planning thingy, and the ecurricula thingy.I will miss

I'm supposed to say a few words during the upcoming party on Thursday (assuming it's pushing through--no confirmation from the organizers yet, but we have the venue). I'm not sure what to say. I thought of keeping it "objective"--I'm good
