Well here we are at another Friday. For a change I find myself in the office. It is great to come back to campus and see all the students and the progress that is being made on the new resident hall. I remember when Bixler Hall first opened and my friend and fellow resident assistant, Diana, was excited to have a view of Long Island Sound from her 5th floor room. Think of the sunsets on the water and watching the boats pass in and out of New Haven Harbor. Geez, makes me wanna go to the beach right now!!!
My travels this week took me to the Berkshires in Massachusetts. I was saddened to see the leaves have turned colors and some were even falling off the trees. Don’t get me wrong, the trip across the Mass Pike was beautiful, but colored leaves means cold weather isn’t too far ahead.
Speaking of cold, I received a call from my wife earlier this week telling me about the chill in the house. I told her to put a sweatshirt on or bake a cake in the oven. That will surely take the chill out and make me happy when I arrive home from the road. (When I got home Thursday night there was no cake :-( ) Anyway, my point to this story is oil. I have always watched the stock market. Between my investments and watching Delta Airlines (a stock I have been watching since 5th grade!!!) I need to be up-to-date to see if I am gaining or losing. I find myself checking out the price of oil since my wife and I locked in our price. Last year we paid $2.39/gallon. This year…………..$4.69/gallon!!!!! Now you know why I said but a sweatshirt on or bake that cake!! My goal is to keep the heat off until November 1st. We will see if that happens.
Well, it is time for me to do some catch up here in the office. Have a great weekend everybody and get those applications in. I checked out my file drawer and it is looking a little bleak.
Until next time ...
