IN FROM THE COLD WEDNESDAY BLOG

AS Joshua sends me pictures of smog daubed all over the St. Andrew's-Sewanee campus in Tennessee, I realize nothing beats our dear Nicholas Foo at the University of North Dakota (former Ardenne student) who sends me pictures of snow piles and arctic freezes below -21.....and I wonder where have I sent these kids?  Smile.

But the best part of the New Year is seeing all and sundry get their kicks by being happy to return to their new homes, their campuses.  I loved hearing all the stories from their boarding school and college lives....the interconnectedness they bring to the office, warming up the hearts of the parents in the lobby, with all the juicy details of what will happen to their children the following year.

I do miss the craziness of December with the mail....Need I add that it was 200 lbs. of mail...all were sent off before Dec 28.  And should a school contact you and say bits are missing, put your foot down and say please see where it may have been misplaced the item?  We got them all there on time.

TARDINESS OF THE BLOG

Well, the New Year started with a bang, busy office, hospital visits for loved ones and a general sense that more rest was needed, but the blog is back, right Calvin?  Lamar, I have not forgotten you, just bloody busy!
