Not too much to report here.  I went to a conference for school this past weekend...that makes the 3rd weekend in a row that I have been out of town.  I am exhausted...and wondering what in the world was I thinking when I scheduled everything.  I ate Tibetan (sp?) food for the first time.  I enjoyed it..reminded me alot of Indian and Thai food.  See...I don't think I am that picky of an eater.   I had trouble staying awake during several sessions of the summer..made me worry about upcoming classes.:-)  I am definately not ready to go back yet.   I got back my pictures from Chicago and I am very pleased with many of them.  Keep an eye out on my website for them.  Maybe I should just pass up this whole PhD business and just take pictures.......hmmm.  Megan and Matthew...my brother and sister may be coming up tomorrow, so that should be good to visit with them.  I am still awaiting the final plans. On a different subject,  I have officially given up on trying to understand men...for the millionth time.
