Good evening,
I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on how things are going. I turned in my final paper this evening (a case study) and have a just a final exam to complete online between now and next Monday. My apologies during this semester if upload approval and other things have been a little spotty.
While working through the semester, I have continued work on the Battle of France when time allowed. I have all missions through May 20th done, (except for the Belgian / Dutch contingent) and finished up a lot of GSL work for it as well.
With the last several months (including mom's kidney transplant back in November) being a constant, draining slog, I'm exhausted, burnt out and frankly looking forward to several months off between early May and the end of August where I can just teach, spend time with my family, and work on my beloved hobby. I'm not planning on taking any summer courses. The kids (and my wife) need their dad and husband, and they've been very understanding these last several months.
Plus, I have a basketball team and a hockey team in the second round of the playoffs, so naturally, my attention is a little divided. (I'm in the eighteenth day of my playoff beard, something the wifey is not happy about. But I told her that some die-hards don't change underwear or socks)
You'll have to excuse the glum look...I've been battling a really bad cold since Saturday and felt like death warmed over in the picture.
So hang tight guys, I'll be back around a lot more regularly within a week or so.
Oh yeah...I turn the big 4-0 on May 9th. Can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to that.
