Spring Term Begins

Spring term began January 7th. And we are off like a pack of tortoises.

This is the earliest start in recent memory.

The Department is seeking to fill some assistant professor positions and so we have a considerable presence at the San Diego meeting this week.

Bill Slough is back from his sabbatical which included sitting in on one of those on-line computer courses with an elephantine student list and some fabulous extracurricular bread making.

Last month saw the only 12/12/12 of the century. Indeed our last post had the distinction of coming to be on that great day even though we passed silently over the fact in that post.

And this year will see the only 11/12/13 of the century. No cause for alarm tho, since the following year will see a 10/12/14. Well ... I guess the list goes on and on.
