life

Life has been crazy the past 2+ weeks.  Here's a run down of things that have gone down in this short time period:

• a faculty death (RIP Mark) 
• THREE appendectomies (the third appendix removal is happening as I type this...I think)
• Can we just pause and take note that THREE people have had appendicitis out of a faculty of a 100+ people.
• 1 of my basketball starters got taken from practice in an ambulance due to a slipped disc in her back
• 1 more starter on my bball team left practice today for the hospital because of a bad sprain and she'll be out for our first (and maybe second/third) game.

Dang.  Let's just say I'm becoming a pro at writing incident reports at our school.  

All that to say, our community is holding up and moving forward (like my neighbor here says, we're moving upward and onward).  

Tomorrow is our first basketball games....here we go!
