Ahhh . . . Down Time

Our week was without many major incidents. Sandi got back the results of her ultrasound, which showed no abnormalities. This is good news in that her gallbladder is not a problem, but she is a little disappointed. As odd as that sounds, having a known medical reason for her issues would ease her mind a bit.

My week at King went quite well. In my analysis class, I got to work through a proof which used pretty much every important technique we have seen during the semester. I also did a short dramatic piece about how mathematics really works; there is a great deal of scribbling, quite a lot of papers get crumpled up, and periodically a pencil flies across the room. My other classes are going smoothly, albeit without aerial pencils. Due to the late Thanksgiving this year, I only have a couple of days of class after the break. I plan to have some student presentations during those final meetings.

We have a guest this weekend -- our fried Beth drove down to Bristol from Salem, Virginia. She and Sandi are scrapbooking buddies; they drove to Sevierville today to check out a big scrapbook supply store. This gave me the opportunity to head to the office and actually keep up with my grading for once.

I think that pretty much covers what has happened up here for the past week. Have a great weekend, everyone!
