Happy St. Nicholas Day to one and all! Did you get any candy in your shoes today? Or did St. Nicholas forget you this year?
It's rainy and cold here in Arizona... mid 50s for the high. Sometimes I think this isn't Arizona, just a microcosm of Kansas weather here for the day... with mountains.
I have been a total slacker writing here on the Blog... Let's see... We had a great Thanksgiving, Hilary, Kerry, Curtis and Glena were here, along with Eva Searcy and Brian "Natureboy" Connor. The turkey was a hit, but the risotto was a little TOO plentiful. But to tell the truth, a good meal was had by all. The wine was good, too!
Kerry, Hilary, Travis and I went camping outside of Tucson on Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend. We did a great hike to 7 Falls in Sabino Canyon - I'll post pics when I get them developed. Looks like we missed the mountain lion, too. Apparently hikers were being stalked the next day - the rangers went out and shot the animal later that day. YIKES!
Work... is the biggest professional challenge I've ever had. Next subject.
Work, part deux. I'm going to fill out my paperwork for Mesa Community College today... I'm excited about teaching my class, though I am a bit nervous. If I can get through one semester, the following semesters should be gravy. Or Beurre Blanc. :)
Our Europe trip is approaching fast! We're headed out on the 16th of December, for three weeks of unabashed touring. I can't wait - 3 weeks without work! Wooohooo! I'll try to post while we're on the road, but no promises. I have a feeling there will be an online photo album after the trip is over.
I hope everyone is doing OK- I'm very disappointed that I will be missing CRAPTACULAR again this year. :-( Save a place at the Go Girl Goddess game table next year for me!
Peace out, as my brother, the earthquake survivor, would say!
