Wait a minute, it stopped raining....

A funny thing happened on my way to my week in Second Life. After a cold, wet and miserable spring in New England, the sun came out and spring was sprung. All of a sudden SL could not compete with spring in RL in all its glory.

Work also picked up to a whole new level of intensity as projects that were in planning and formation stages have started to come together, and now are requiring extra effort. It is always a rush from April to June, but we undertook some network up grades to accommodate a new phone system and other system wide changes will take up time and energy beyond the usual duties of the day. My end of year is always intense. Others wind down. I am already looking at next year. Setting up summer work, planning for September, all that happens now. It is always busy and these special projects have are taking there time on top of the normal hustle. It is all good, there is change in the air that will cut some Gordian knots and unlock some logjams that will help my teachers and students down the road.

And I will admit, softball games, running, riding my bike, cruising on the motorcycle, and getting down to the river the fly rod have seemed better choices after work than curling up with a cup of tea and a wireless laptop. The only the better than spring in New England? Summer in New England!
