2012 Begins

Though only seven days old this has already been an extremely busy year.  Literally every evening this past week we had events for the college from the faculty meeting to orientation to graduation and last night the U.S. seminar meeting.  We also have house guests finishing their visit to the Cayman Islands that include Katie's sister Melanie and some friends of hers.  That has caused this week to pass with a blur and we are just beginning to catch our breath.  Next Monday is the first day of classes for the college so there wont be much of a break this weekend before the insanity begins anew.  We are also both teaching this term in addition to writing a paper for submission to a conference that is due at the end of the month.  It has been a bit of an adjustment moving back to 80 degree weather after our visit north but we are acclimating back.  The winds this past week here helped as it cooled down into the low 70's for a couple of days.  We took the opportunity to turn off the A/C and open all the windows.
