Y'all seem to be taking care of yourselves just fine without my persistent banter. I'll be doing a slew of approvals tonight after I drive home. (Did any of you know that I have a commute that's about an hour and fifteen to twenty minutes each way? The gas hike has nearly given me a heart attack.) Other random factoids? It's sunny, clear and a bit windy. Probably 65 degrees. California income taxes seem to be more complicated than federal income taxes. Oh, and I've been hearing good news from graduate schools. It's exciting. My list went out Monday, didn't it?

The staff members seem to be incommunicado this week. No one has said anything on either list and there are no newly approved books. Sue S.
