Going off for Christmas so I'll be offline for about a week. For some reason, my blog comments engine has broken so I've taken them off for now. Maybe in the next semester I'll try to get Movable Type working which should give me a little more flexibility. I'm also hoping to shift directions next term for my Ph.D. so I can get it done in some sort of reasonable time frame. Watch here for more details. Also, my eldest (see Cinderella picture below) found out in a five day period that 1) he had been selected for the IMEA Illinois All-State Chorus and 2) he was picked to be Tony in the Naperville North High School production of West Side Story. Pretty cool. Now if he could only get his act together in math...

Have a very merry and blessed Christmas!
