Good to see you made it back. It seems winter has gone on forever. I started winter term in October, I believe, and had spring break a couple of weeks ago, and now it STILL feels like winter. It's friggin April 6th. OK, something is going on here. I'm not a big fan of the global warming theory however I have noticed a shift in the general climate. Where my perspective lives, it looks like winters are lasting longer, spring is becoming virtually 'non-existent', summer has become a fickle visitor, and autumn is only around as long as it takes for the leaves to turn from green to red/yellow/orange & fall off the tree. Sometimes winter wont even let that cycle complete itself before it sets forth it's blanket of frosty soldiers to chill the air and the earth. Anyway, something is up.

So for the winter term update. I didn't make the Dean's list this time around, missed it by one 'A'. I wound up with a 3.46 (A,A,B,A,B.) They're working some kind of funky voodoo on grades now where the +'s and the -'s actually count. So if I were to do the avg. it would be a 3.6 but one A was a minus and one B was a minus. So hence the paltry 3.46 and no trip to the Smart Guy Sheet. The term was a challenge in general. Unfortunately I learned that about the time I finally found my rhythm & the term was coming to an end. It's good to be back and re-establishing my rhythm for the spring term. Spring, I use that word so loosely right now. It's just Winter Jr. as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad to see buds on the trees but I'm fearful that they will not make it through this Winter Jr.
Sagebrush is still in the latter stages of hibernation and the cowgirls are dealing with cutting and branding right now, so negotiations are still on hold but we hope to get something going as soon as this snow finally decides to depart.
Thanks again for the visit and stay tuned. As the weather gets better, so does my "HandTongue". If you can't be with the one you love, BE CAREFUL. The one you're with might want to love you. Only use that old adage if it's a last resort and you can handle pulling the pin on that grenade. Take care everyone and make sure the ones you love know it! Night all.
Carmen oooooooooooooot!
