I hope all the fossils had a wonderful holiday long weekend. I am especially looking forward to hearing from Brian and maybe even getting some photos from the Gunks. Tomorrow I am up at 2:15 AM and out the door by 3 AM to catch the first flight out of Albany. I am on a six day Rocky Mountain region visit to Camp and School alumni. The itinerary is Denver-Aspen-Santa Fe- and Albuquerque. While on this business trip I ought to get a few short hikes in the Sandias with the new sportiva approach shoes that Selden got me as an early birthday present. Also, I will be test driving a socratic humanities course - Plato's Protagoras - to see if it is worthwhile for staff professional development.
