From January 5-10 much of Central Indiana was without power following damage from an ice storm that hit the area after New Years. My wife and son and I spent the 5 nights in sevreal dorms on campus (well I spent 2 nights in the house in 30 degree temps because I like my pillow).
On top of that, my leadership staff arrived the 7th and I was in full-swing by the 8th with my job here at IWU. We had students arriving the 10th and were crossing our fingers power would be restored before the mass of students arrived the 11th. Luckily, power was restored at 630pm on the 10th and you would have thought it was a New Year's celebration. Everyone was hugging and yelling and singing. We really do need our electricity in this electronic age.
Update: Christmas was a blast. 2 nights in Illinois with Mel's family and 5 nights in Minneapolis with my sister. Followed by 5 nights with the Cnadian relatives visiting us in Marion for New Year's. What a great time. This spring we are job hunting, we'll keep you posted on where we end up moving. Until then... jmak
