22 April 2018

Well. That was one of the longest breaks I've had in posting since I started 18 years and change ago. Reasonable reason: We went out to California to visit family.

And Done!

I turned in the final final, on the 33.3 year path from entering university in the Fall of 1979 to the end of this year. For the last five years, I've been taking courses at UMUC, filling in holes in my education, and taking lots of new, shiny, politically correct classes. I've had some real trolls for instructors, and some gems. This last one was much more in the latter category, but I have to note the 5-year winner of the category Best Instructor I've Had At UMUC: Charles Neimeyer, PhD.
