Mini- Post

 

I apologize..... the week is turning out far busier than I had anticipated....with many more letters of recommendation due, a few unexpected "emergency" glitches arose that I am trying to fix within a science organization in which I am on the Executive Board, and two collaborations I am involved in with colleagues have needed an extra burst of attention as well.  

So, I have only "mini" posts for the next little while.  I will get back to my  more normal posts as soon as this tidal wave of "business" passes... and will get to my comments on comments too.... I promise. 

• Ran every day so far!  And, I feel pretty damn close to normal..... other than by the end of the teaching day, I do FEEL a slight tenderness in my one foot.... but that is after hoofing around a track in the early morning and stomping around lecturing for most of the day.  I consider this progress!
• I am trying my damndest to STILL be able to go to the Retiree's Cigar Group tomorrow too.  If I have to.... I may work deep into the wee early morning hours overnight tonight, to at least allow me to eek out the ~3 hours for the Retiree's Cigar Group (this includes travel time).  
• Another confound for this week is that in SEVERAL classes (mine, and ones I am also "coordinating" as well)..... this is a really big rodent week in teaching.  And as I am the "rodent guy" I am responsible for those needs as well.  This is a wholly different "add-in" and not at all associated with  my rodent research.
• Pipes and memories of their beauty and the various beautiful pipe tobaccos lull me to sleep every night, and help quiet my overly active mind during these busy days.
