Haven’t been writing much here because I’ve been spending most of my time writing for the two courses I’m taking this summer at Eastern Illinois University. I’ve been out of school over 10 years, so it’s a bit of a struggle starting up again. The work isn’t hard by any means, but it is time consuming. What I wouldn’t give for a few days off. The “break” I get between the end of the summer courses and the start of the fall semester will be filled with getting my servers and computer lab in shape for our new students at UIUC and with a planned long weekend back in New England immediately before school starts. So much for a relaxing summer.  😐

I was driving home today and had to stop to let an airplane cross the road in front of me. I only had a cell phone camera, so excuse the poor pictures. It was hard to time the shot with the plane moving so fast and the lag time on the camera, so the first shot caught the plane with the trees in the background. No missing it on the second shot, though.
