wish we were here..

This pic is one that Danette took while away for a work trip back in November. I was looking through the images on my hard-drive and even though most of January has been unseasonably warm here in northeast Ohio, this beach looks quite tempting. Oh yeah, she was working down in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands at the time and I guess this was view was only a few feet from her hotel room door!

Anyway, a reasonably good weekend around here. Yesterday we went to a birthday party for some friends' 1-year-old. It was interesting not only because a cute kid had her first birthday party, but also to see the dynamic of the participants. Most of the people there were from a "play group" ... that is most of the people there were mothers and almost 1-year-olds... neat and hectic at the same time.

Today was a bit more mundane, house stuff and catching up on a little writing... well, classes start back up again this week, on Tuesday. Tomorrow is MLK Day, meant to honor the man with a truly incredible dream, so no students... though I do hope some of them are partaking in some of the opportunities available to them. I need to get better about it too, like I tried to be in college... Anyway, Peace to you all.
