Sunday evening

We’ve reached the part of the weekend when I get to ponder all the things I failed to accomplish. There is just enough time to do a strong push to finish perhaps one more thing. My momentum is good but I am becoming weary. Ah, to have a three day weekend! That would be a dream.

But let’s be more positive. What was accomplished? The painting of the loft bed for Evan is complete. The headlight on the van is repaired. Games were played with the children. Quality time spent with family. I juggled at a variety show, had a blast, was hit on by an incredibly bright and beautiful woman, and met some really cool people. Relaxation occurred. I had brunch with a couple of old friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. All-in-all it was a great weekend!

I’ll see your free two years and raise you a degree

Haslam now has Tennessee paying for the first two years at any community college. Sounds great right? Well Germany just raised the bar!

All German universities are now free to Americans and all other international students. The last German state to charge tuition at its universities struck down the fees this week.

Best of all, my son already has his passport!
