Today I managed to finish my grading ... well, most of it. I still have my upper-division Darwin & Design course to take care of. Despite nursing a bad cold, yesterday I attended our Honors Commencement (only 29 graduates walked this semester, none of them working with me on theses ... I've five coming up in the spring). The last extended family members leave town tomorrow and as soon as I finish with the ASU Commencement today (I've the honor of bearing the college banner), I'm home free. Probably home to bed is more like it, but there you have it.
Boring post, I know.

Not boring at all - I understand completely the relief. Good luck with the five honors students finishing next semester. Now, go take good care of yourself; I understand that a good IPA can chase away the cold.
Now, go take good care of yourself
I second that emotion. Now is not the time to have a weakened immune system. Within the last week, a fellow ASU staff member in my office was out sick with whooping cough and another got pneumonia.
I understand that a good IPA can chase away the cold.
Theraflu in the green box works pretty well too.
