A few thoughts to go with this sketch from a very full day at Wingate University with my oldest daughter, Catherine, for freshman orientation: *It was as much orientation for me (a parent) as it was for her. *Information overload hit me about noon. Day wasn't over until 6 pm. Whew! *Overall impression: Amazed at … Continue reading Orientation

I sit … Continue reading Trees are for Climbing
