I'm still alive

Indeed, I am still alive. In the last two weeks, I've graded a lot of papers, turned in final grades, traveled to visit family for a week, picked up my 13 year old nephew who will be staying with us for a few weeks (that is a post unto itself), and tried not to lose my mind. I have a lot of things going on and a lot of things I want to blog about. I hope to be present more now that summer school is over.
