Well, I've started yet another graduate school class. The good news is that this is (mercifully) the last one before graduation. The bad news is that it's tougher than Clint Eastwood's five o'clock shadow. Did you know that he shaves with a custom-made Mach 33 razor? It's basically eleven Mach 3 razors glued together! That's one tough leathery dude.

Anyway, this class will keep me more than a little busy for the next six weeks. During that time, you'll see some sporadic blogging along the lines of one or two posts a week and, if I'm persuasive enough, a guest blog post or two along the way. It's a crappy way to start off the blog's third year, but it has to be done. Insert some inspirational business school quote/metaphor about the finish line being in site or the light at the end of the tunnel. Go team!

For now, I'll cop out and leave you with some pictures that you are encouraged to caption and weave into a story that may or may not involve a spatula.

Today is "Belated O'Birthday!" Yesterday was my sister's and PO'W's birthday. How convenient!
