Andrea & I have a long list of tweaks & changes that we want to make. My goal is to work through most of those over the month of July. I think we are finally catching up though. http://atypicalhomeschool.net/general-information/upgrade/ Seems I'm swinging by for my monthly blog post. One of the things I've been working on over the last few months is moving our web sites from the VPS we have had for the last few years to a dedicated server. Between the two, we are spending a couple ... http://atypicalhomeschool.net/news/geek-of-the-week/ Earlier this week, someone sent me a link to a blog post that reminded me of the week of seminars that I referred to here.

When I was growing up the folks where I lived paid attention to the weather on Feb 2. I can't remember a winter back then that Feb 2nd did not reflect how the rest of the winter went.
