Yep, things are going well here at USM. I love the place and the people. I'm settling in a bit, finding a little more of a rhythm (I would dare call it a routine!). This week's goal is rebuilding my own prof dev network: Twitter, Plurk, nings (including this one), Google Reader cleanup, delicious and diigo, and...I think I left a blog around here somewhere...

I'll try to touch base with you via Skype when I get a chance. Hope all is well for you in sunny CA, too. (By the way, you need to update your avatar pic to something sunnier! :)

Take care!

It will most likely just be me this time, but if this becomes a regular event there are several students and teachers who would like to join in. I have Skype on my computer, but have never used it. Will you be sending us some instructions?
