Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all.

No new mothers here yet, though there is another 9 days until Danette's due date.

Nothing too exciting going on here... it has been raining off and on for the last few days... even a thunderstorm this afternoon. Of course that means you could probably hear the grass growing if you tried... but that's the way it goes. We are in a mini-drought at the moment, so the rain is a good thing. We were something like 2.5"-3" behind before the rain showed up. The other advantage of the rain is that the pollen is being washed out, which is fabulous!

Other than that, classes are done, grades are in, and I can spend a little more time on research.

In other news, I am listening to the Red Hot Chili Pepper's most recent release Stadium Arcadium which is a two-disc release (!) with the discs named Jupiter and Mars, so really, what's not to like? Definitely some good tunes, even a few that harken back to their funkier days which is fun. It will take a few more times through it to fully digest, but clearly it is worth a listen (or a dozen).
