    Welcome back!

    I'm glad to hear the grad school plans are coming together. Sorry it won't be here, but W&M sounds like an excellent venue. And did I mention it gets amazingly hot here?

    it gets pretty darn hot in Williamsburg too, although here in KY it hits 80-90F whenever it decides to stop raining. Which of late isn't often.

    You are all welcome. I am considering paying my rent by subletting my floor to vacationing friends and family.

    COOL!

    I have a number of friends in the Brigade of the American Revolution who participate each year in the "Under the Red Coat" event at Colonial Williamsburg. They get to camp right in the middle of the place upon the commons. I've always wanted to do that one too
