Oh, should mention - got younger daughter up to the university, and although it's only been a couple days (of freshmen week at that), she seems to be settling in nicely.

On the work front, the students have finally come. It's steaming hot in these parts right now, and the building I'm in this year is not air conditioned, so we're sweating through it.

I had a good mental reminder last week. At the end of one of our countless meetings, I was talking with another teacher, one I really respect. We were doing the usual grumble, grumble. Then he said, "But you know what? My goal for this year is to remember it's not all about me." I said "Ooh, I like that. I think you've now given me my goal for the year. Thanks"

So that's what I'm trying to keep in mind as this new school year starts. It's not all about me.
