I wanna go back to Union again...

Here I sit in the UC microlab, and everything seems so familiar, and yet I don't know anyone. That's the weird part. Like a parallel universe. You go back to your house after a day of work and other people are living there, with your furniture and pets. Eating your food. And you can't come in.

We brought 25 students here for October homeleave to check out the school. Hopefully the good ones will love it and come here and help make Union the awesome place it is.

We had a long day yesterday, we left the school at 9:00 am, drove to Philadelphia, flew to Minneapolis, flew to Omaha, waited for over an hour to be picked up, and arrived at Union around 9:00 pm. And we lost an hour on the way.

Life has been crazy busy, but mostly good. This week, however, after cleaning my keyboard, I realized I had broken it. It now types "aq" when I type a or q. And "sw" when I type s or w. And so on, down the keyboard, but only for the top two lines of letters. Also, the shift key doesn't work for those letters. The apple guy was very nice, but told me it will cost $300 to fix it, since it isn't covered by applecare, because I broke it myself. So that's discouraging.

Sorry for the lack of posting. I've been sick for about a month and that has kept me in bed as much of the time as I can, what with work and responsibilities. Now I've mostly lost my voice. But I don't feel too bad, so I guess that's improvement.

So that's a peak into our lives right now. We'll be in Lincoln till Sunday at 5 am when we start the treck back to PA. I don't know why we do this to ourselves... And oh yeah, Michael will not be the camp director at Laurel Lake this coming summer. I'm happy about that. For reals. Peace out.
