§ The start of daylight savings time last Sunday means that the sunlight now stretches past 7:00pm. Bliss.


§ I finally finished reading Autumn and started, appropriately enough Spring. My reading pace is picking back up as the weather improves. I always seem to think that I’ll spend more time inside reading during the winter but that never ends up being the case. I think my body goes into a bit of a half-hibernation when the days are short and the weather is cold.


§ On Monday I spent the day visiting NASA Glenn with my team from work. It was a really cool privilege to get a behind-the-scenes look at some of the wild research they conduct there.


§ Friday afternoon brought dangerously high winds to the Cleveland area. At the end of my block I saw my neighbor’s mailbox on fire due a downed power line. Thankfully, my little greenhouse survived which is always a concern in these types of situations.


§ On Saturday Caroline and I spent all day working with our FIRST Robotics students. Their first competition of the season is next week and there is still more work left to do than we would all prefer. The robot isn’t done yet but it is coming together, piece by piece. The amount our students were able to accomplish in only nine weeks is commendable.
