Hi Everyone!

Thanks for your well-wishes.

The getaway was very nice. Great weather (hey 17 celcius..mid 60's?) is pretty nice for this time of year in that windy city.

We did lots of walking, swimming, jacuzzied. Caught a blues band up the way from our hotel. Ate tons. How does lobster tail sound for breakfast?

I haven't yet journalled about some of the not-so-pleasant feelings that came up on the trip (you'll be able to relate to these, Sage) but I'll add it in when I can.

Today was the Q&A for my intro students, tomorrow it's 8 hours worth of exams! Yipeee! (not). Then I'll have to buckle down and finalize my preps for the spring course that starts in just over a week. Sigh.

So today I'll just check in and see what happened whilst I was away.....

Shiny
