I THINK This Is The Last Test...

...maybe. We have reached the point in the testing madness that we will threaten you with endless retesting if we think that you are not REALLY TRYING HARD. Sounds like an incentive for positive behavior, eh? Of course, there are the occasional soreheads that I do not mind seeing on the rack, but my baser instincts might not be the soundest reason to do something.

 Spring continues to creep in. The ice in the river is long gone. This was a very un-dramatic year here on the Kusko as far as breakup was concerned. That is a good thing. The one potential negative is that part of the reason for that was a very dry winter. That may not be such a good thing in the long run.

I think we now have it arranged to have our car brought into O'Hare airport, so that it is there when we arrive on the 26th. Many thanks to the generosity of my wife's aunt. We will be staying with another aunt when we first arrive, until we can get furniture delivered and the house at least partially set up. Hooray for aunties!

School ends one week from today. In fact, we dismiss kids at lunchtime, so technically we have less than a week to go at this point. We are both finding that the sadness of leaving is beginning to be balanced with the joy of being reunited with our families, who are all extremely happy that we will be sticking around at the end of the summer.

The glories of a Northern Michigan summer are beginning to call. I have always felt that it is the best place that I have ever been to during summer. Now, we will call it home, some of us again, and one of us for the first time.
