Sunday in Ohio

It is a quiet Sunday night here as Hanneke is half-way around the world and the ferrets are tucked into their hammock. I've just come back from an afternoon with my parents at the Columbus Auto Show, which was enjoyable. After taking care of some chores around the house I ventured over to TeamGey.org to post as I do each week. I wasn't really sure what I was going to write until I was writing it.

This week I'll start my orientation for adjunct teaching. I have a few questions left to answer (with assistance from more veteran professors), and I have to finalize my syllabuses (I originally thought it was pluralized as "syllabi" but perhaps not). But I am otherwise excited to begin the classes at the end of the month.

The Tri for Gey 5 is right around the corner which means there are only a few more weeks to fund-raise in its name. I am hopeful that the site will attract a few more donors than it has so far; the ALS research pot that I set up this year at ALS TDI only has a few dollars in it and I'd like to see that number go up. But even if it doesn't, I can see from tracking the site that it's had about a hundred visitors. If all that the video and site accomplish is raising awareness about ALS by a hundred people I would still count that as something of a success. But I have a few more fundraising pushes in me, so perhaps we'll see the number rise yet.

In other news, things feel pretty different around the place without Han. It's very quiet, most of all, and I think the ferrets have gone looking for her once or twice. Such is the life of Mr. Croft, I suppose. Yes, that was somewhat obscure for the non-gaming crowd, but still - if I had said Mr. Indiana Jones it wouldn't have made any sense!
