UW-Eau Claire and Sweden

Hi all-

I haven't written for a while and realized that not everyone knows I'm home safe in Eau Claire.  Thank you to those who checked in on me after the shootings at the Empire State Building- I am far from there, but like many I am horrified at some people's cruelty.

My last week in NYC was wonderful--I will post more in detail later.  But I had three more interesting salon experiences, walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, and went to Coney Island!  Also the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Battery Park, and the Museum of Natural History.  It was a great ending to a great time in a great city.

I got home on Monday evening- Nancy picked me up and we dawdled along, stopping at different stores and fast food restaurants :).  Late night.  I've been at school all week, pushing to get syllabi completed and sent to the copy center, sending greetings to new students, getting my office sort of cleaned up, and attending meetings and finishing reports.  Because remember, I'm heading to Sweden on Monday!  Nancy and I are going to Stockholm, and will also spend two days in rural Sweden as she researches her family tree.  It is going to be terrific.  If anyone knows any one in Stockholm, let me know, as I don't know anyone!

I have one last report I really must write before I go home today, and I have a massage appointment at 6:30 p.m. (YAY) so I've got to sign off.  Hope you all are well.
