It seems February should be a "down" time of year. After the holidays, before the spring thaw. But it just isn't so. Lots and lots of things going on.
February is a long month for basketball coaches and players. Tempers tend to run short, the season tends to be drawn out, and players/parents/coaches tend to lose their cool. I counted, and this is my 31st basketball season! YOW - must be getting old. Anyhow, we are fortunately surviving this February. Our team is won 8 of last 10. Winning cures many ills.
The ICC Engineering students are rolling along on a high note. There are a lot of interesting activities going on. Today the crew cancelled classes and headed to Giants Ridge for skiing. Bart and I went to Effie to look at a 40 acre plot we would like to acquire for engineering student camping. Next week we have some more engineering mentors coming up from the Twin Cities to share their careers with us. And next week we have our annual etiquette dinner.
My life has been kept quite busy with the potential emergence of the Iron Range Engineering Academy. There is a real chance that the 3rd and 4th year of engineering could be taught in a most transformational way this coming fall... Stay tuned.
Most importantly, my new little buddy, Ethan is coming to visit on Saturday. Talk about a Valentine's present!!
TBL: I hope you are maintaining a good equilibrium through your February.
