Since our last post our
thoughts have gone to a famous author, Robert Burns:
“The best-laid plans of
mice and men often go awry.”
That pretty well describes
progress with our three candidates. Work
schedules, injuries, and travel plans have all had an impact on our anticipated
degree schedule. Along the way we have
also had our own schedule issues, making for an interesting autumn.
With that in mind, below is
our anticipated schedule for the balance of 2016, and what is known for
2017. Adjustments will be made as
necessary, so check back often.

10, 2016 Columbus
Day. Celebrate Christoforo
Columbo, who “sailed the ocean blue in 1492”, and for years was identified as the
person who discovered America. History
buffs generally recognize the land was named for Amerigo Vespucci, who
apparently had a better PR Manager. Both
had better PR men than Leif Eriksson, credited with landing here 500+ years
earlier than either of them.
