... for the lack of an update yesterday and the late start today. Yesterday was a PA day for our school board and our school wasn't opening until late (one of my colleagues who missed the announcement set off the alarm, snicker), so I slept in. Evening football activities prevented further action last night. This a.m. I slept in again and now have finally waded through the pile of email that has built up.
On the plus side, I've finally ordered a new laptop ... folks often write me and ask how I have time to do my various online activities and they probably would be more concerned that I've been doing it on a four/five-year old laptop which has been shedding keys (most notably the 'y' and the 'ctrl') and which only connects to the internet at home (they won't let us connect personal laptops to the school network). The new laptop and my new Corsair Voyager GT (full of portable apps, including Thunderbird and Firefox) should keep me from falling behind.
Also on the plus side, it's Thanksgiving weekend up here in the Great Grey North and only one of the days (later today) involves football, so I should be able to get a whack of things off the agenda ...
