. . . it isn't even spring. It's sure acting like it, though: The high today was 52 degrees, under clear, sunny skies and with a gentle southerly breeze . . . I just got back from an 11-mile bike ride through Gallup Park, which was hopping as usual.

I'm nearly ready to begin the semester (classes start on Saturday). I'll still have a lot to do; I'm not nearly prepared for everything but I'm ready for the first week, except for one help document yet to write. (Couldn't do it earlier because ANGEL was down so I couldn't get screenshots.)

I'll go in to campus tomorrow, then on Sunday I'll drive down to Y'town with Emil. I'll return home on Monday, then go back on Thursday, and stay until Saturday (when Kathy comes) and we both go home. At least, that's the tentative, this-moment plan. Plans are subject to change at a moment's notice. But in any event I should get in some solid work time next week, so I'll be able to move ahead with the other materials I have to create for the semester.

All in all, I'm feeling pretty good about where I stand in terms of class prep, and the bike ride was a real treat . . .
