A few more nifty websites (next time I'll give an update on life)

Very useful: http://chronicle.com/article/TuitionFees-2009-10/48879 First register, and then you can compare costs of different colleges (tuition & fees OR tuition, feels, room & board). Very useful in Georgia, where if kids graduate HS with a B average, they get a HOPE scholarship, which pays for tuition and most fees at any public school. So one number - the other= out-of-pocket expenses for college.

So much fun! http://www.oddcast.com/demos/tts/tts_tran_example.php a Translator speaks via an avatar. Type in a sentence in one language and he or she will say it in another.

It's been too long

So...the last few weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster for me. Lots of stuff going on, at work, at home. The boys are well, and that's most important. In fact, the oldest suddenly got a decent grade on an AP Physics test :-) and tomorrow night I plan on taking him to a college fair.

Will get back to the habit of writing more regularly, once it's okay to do so...
