- Been busy since returning...and, with school in session there is barely time to do much else....seems I'm going from scholar to administrator! Full classes with minds eager to explore....hopefully it'll remain that way a month from now. Still have many fond memories of France, Kettering rugby, and our time together. They'll keep, too, 'til my next jaunt over, I'm sure. Stay well and enjoy 39 for the few weeks remaining! :) Peace.
