Day one...
It's the first day of the long awaited semester. It's hard to believe that the last time I was in class was in Waco fairly recently. I had two classes today, beginning at 9:00. The first is a course in bioethics, dealing specifically with topics such as physician-assisted suicide, abortion, advanced directives, and the like. The second is a course at the university in normative ethics, which I attended to see if I was interested in pursuing (because I already have the appropriate number of courses needed, but am allowed to take more if desired). I sat behind a student in the second class who came in wearing a WWII-style combat helmet. I guess when you're that intelligent you need to protect the brain. That's all I could conclude. Although I suppose he could be a spy who works in combat operations and just fogot to take off his field gear. Other courses include "The doctrine of humanity" and "The theology and ethics of MLK, Jr." Additionally, my thesis is considered course work, which means I'll actually have to work on it this semester, rather than just letting it sit until March.Margaret is in Parsippany one more night before coming home tomorrow and working from home on Friday. She has a dinner tonight which means I will not go spend the night with her. She did learn that the go live date for the application they are working on might be pushed back into the spring, which would allow her to take vacation over the Christmas break.
How are things going with the opening of the Chic-Fil-A? The go live date for that application is today, if I'm correct. We hope that Julie and Darryl are keeping their sanity and that Darryl is not too tired after staying up all night serving the "first 100" juice and such. We are excited to hear what kind of happenings transpire.
We hope everyone is doing well and that the weather is cooling off. As more news develops, you'll be on the cutting edge. After all, this is all the news that's fit to blog.

Dear J & M,
Great to have the "first hand" account of "Day 1"! Hope that the end of week one has just as satisfying an outcome.
Just about the time we thought fall had arrived all of the sudden we have temps in the high 90's and we're praying for October!!! Are the leaves turning yet? If so, please don't tell us the truth...we'll be extremely jealous.
All else is quiet in San Antonio, at least for the moment. Rebekah was discharged from further physical therapy yesterday, and will continue with her exercises to strengthen her kneecap on her own. Fred has had a good week and is busy studying options for the "next steps"!
Got Margaret's Plaxco notice for e-mail/contact update today. Has she had any further responses to the job search? Will follow-up with the contacts I've made to see where they stand.
Not much other news. Went to see Dahlberg this a.m. and he and the office staff wanted to know about our fam. The hygienist was horrified by the thought that you now live in NJ! (Just kidding, of course.)
Well, I'm closing up shop and headed for home. Have a great Thursday evening. Hope Margaret is home soon.
Love you all,
Ken & Sara
