Here we are on August 19th, 2008.  I've been crazy busy for about a month now with band rehearsal, camp, the State Fair and what not.  I'm very lucky to have an understanding wife & family.  Now it is time to turn attention to this Globaloria adventure.  While in the current context I feel a little overwhelmed, I am confident that once Abbie and I get in full stride we will be very successful this school year.  We have a pretty good, diverse list of students we are recruiting for the course.  I'm looking forward to this project!
