Way past due...
I don't have the excuse of being busy this time, there just hasn't been a whole lot to say. School has started again after a brief recess, and things are in full swing. I even have a test coming up in two weeks. This semester I am enrolled mostly in general ed courses. Most of the gen ed courses I took at UNR and TMCC counted for my degree at UVSC, but a couple didn't. I am taking History 1700: A Brief American Pageant and Ethics and Values 2050. I am also enrolled in my final math class, Math 1050. I was in it last semester but dropped the class. The only aviation course I am in this semester is Corporate Aviation Management. I am looking forward to this class. I hope it helps me gain a better understanding of why some things are the way they are. Should be interesting. I have two science classes remaining, Meteorology and one other, like Physics or Chemistry and then I am done with gen ed.
Work this month is nice and simple. My schedule is three days on, three days off and I make a Boston run each of the three days I am working. I can commute to St. Louis and back at the beginning and end of the three days, allowing me to be home all of three days I am off. That's nice. Next month I will be sitting reserve so I be spending more time than usual away. Fortunately, that only happens once every four months (or three times/year.)
A sad note. A neighbor of Beth's parents died last Thursday, and we attended his funeral yesterday morning. Beth and I got to know Clem, and his wife, Bernie, when we lived with Dale and Carter. They are wonderful people. Clem was only 64. It's so sad. He was an accomplished man having served in the Marine Corp and as police chief for King of Prussia, PA for 22 years before retiring and moving with Bernie to Las Vegas in 1996. His daughter, Lisa, and her husband Bob and their three kids also moved to Vegas. Both families bought homes side by side across the street from Dale and Carter. A couple of years later, Clem and Bernie's son Jeff joined the compound and bought a house next to Bob and Lisa, moving in with his wife, Chris, and their four kids. The entire family is spectacular, very close knit and loving. It was a big loss for the community when Clem died. Fortunately for Bernie, her entire family is right there to support her. The service yesterday was beautiful, with two Marine Corp cadets, thirteen Las Vegas Metro Police officers and an officer from King of Prussia present to offer their respect. It was very moving. Clem's son-in-law, Bob, is a police officer with Metro.
Jenn... now would be a good time to come to Vegas, and you, too, Sean. Our high yesterday was in the upper 60s and is expected to get there again today. Although the temp will drop slightly over the next few days, the high is still to remain above 60. After your record snowfall and nasty temps, the two of you could probably use a little thawing out. Door's open!
