James Webb is extremely cool – thought y’all should know.<\/p>\n
Stephen Hobbs has moved to Killarney – there goes the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Marcus Neustetter is a pumpkin – isn’t that sweet?<\/p>\n
My wife is the best thing ever – does that make me a dork (as if that weren’t already the case)?<\/p>\n
Plans in the works: Cuba for a conference on Distance Learning in July, followed by NYC (home!), Ithaca (stomping ground), Houston (wedding), then Dublin (visit friends, give talk, see Trinity College and MLE) and back to Johannesburg (new home).<\/p>\n
