The university offered buy-outs for the first time ever this year and, sadly, one of my favorite colleagues took one. She’s worked down the hall, in our Advertising and Public Relations Department, and always said hello as she made her way past my door. I’d often see her watching the display out side my office, commenting on my students’ work.

Professor Peggie Kreshel, our college won’t be the same without your voice in the halls.

Yes, we went overboard (for us) on lights this year. See yesterday’s post – if it helps anyone, I’ll pay the electric bill.

There is a shocking amount of piping in commercial buildings. Looking up while walking through the first floor renovation, found this maze.

Snuck out to run some errands and finish off the holiday shopping. Tried to go as local as possible, so the Indie South craft fair was a target. Lots of good stuff, even caught a kid without her camera.

After a lot of delays, we finally got in a road rally this year – The Last Lap Rally was a 108 mile tour past five racetracks. Small turnout, but I hope they enjoyed their wanderings.
