12/2 - Welcome Back

Congrats to Dave G and crew for putting on another fabulous show. There were SOOO many students involved and the production was professional and entertaining. There was clearly an amazing amount of work and dedication. Well done! 

Welcome back. I hope you had plenty of rest, good times with family and friends, yummy food and and overall good time with your break. Hard to believe it, but in 3 quick weeks, we'll be right back at it. This is great time of year to capitalize on student and personal energy to have a focused short hard push to the new year.

OK you'all, its three weeks to the Winter Solstice; when days get longer. That's something to look forward to....and so it winter in my mind. I think the best way to manage winter is to embrace, like the Norwegians. For inspiration: check out this article recently shared by Shannon. And, let's look for ways to encourage each other to get out and enjoy winter - the trails out back are already being groomed. Meetings on snow can be productive.
