long absence after very short summer :-)

I cannot believe it has been since April I did not updated this blog :-(

It was alike a marathon.
Semester ended, I took a short trip to Romania to visit my parents, and then got back to teach three summer courses. With the courses ending I tried to catch up with the work left behind and clean my house (stage my house).

Getting ready to start a new semester which already started August 25th.

My parents now have Internet!!!!
So, we can use the Yahoo messenger --- will go thru a phase where I am the Customer Service representative on the phone directing Mom in front of her computer to be able to see and hear me via Yahoo Messenger (wonder when Google will do something attached to Gmail and Blogger?).
We will get there!
