quick update
Wow, I've let more time elapse than I thought.
Here's the quick update:
* Classes finished two days ago. I gave two take-home finals, so I've got some breathing time now while students are working on their exams. I've managed to order a bunch of equipment that I need for January's experiments.
* I'm directing the church choir for this Sunday's Christmas program. I'm also playing the trumpet, as a descant to "O Come All Ye Faithful". And I'm singing in a quartet for one number, and playing the piano for a solo. So I get to use all four of my musical talents in the same program: directing, singing, piano, and trumpet!
* Chamber Chorale also has a concert on Sunday. So I've been practicing for that as well.
* Saturday is a church party & talent show. I'm planning play the piano and sing a number there as well. As you can see, music has pretty much taken over my life this week.
* We have a semi-permanent house guest: Thomas Odenwalder is staying with us for a month or two. He was missionary from Utah that served in this area, who moved back and wants to attend UW-L. He's staying with us while he finds a job and gets an apartment. He'll be working for a year before starting college.
* Pauline and kids are doing well. I still need to get them Christmas presents.

Nice job on the church choir and the trumpet. We made it to about 5 seconds of the concert before Lawson freaked out and I left. D saw about 20 minutes of it or so. Maybe you'll just have to give us a personal performance.
