Less than a month away...

It is hard to believe that I am just a little over 3 weeks from heading to Africa.  The anticipation (and nerves) are building.

Recent events:  Our golf tournament fundraiser fell through due to lack of sign ups.  I tried to sell that more than I have ever tried to sell anything to no avail.  I always stunk at selling fundraiser candy bars.  I suppose that is why I am in design engineering and not sales.  This will not put a damper on my trip, though.

I have an idea for an "out of the classroom" activity to show an application for similar triangles.  I hope the weather cooperates enough for us to go outside and measure some shadows one day.

I have continued to embrace the metric system.  I even have my garmin in my car set as metric.  My wife thinks I'm crazy.  The other day, she commented "That seems farther than 500 ft".  I replied "That is because it is 500 meters."

I am very happy with how the Sierra Leone flag ended up looking on my ankle.  As I feared, my skin pigment pretty much ate all the white color in the center stripe, but I am still pleased with how it turned out.

I am going to endeavor to update the blog more often. 

God bless.
