So happy to be back in this space after Irene surprised us all with her nastiness... most of our loved ones are back to power (at one point 800,000 people in our state were in the dark, geesh!) and I'm back at school (we didn't miss a day, professional development happened the morning after Irene blew through...). I have much to share but lots to do today so it will have to wait for just a bit. Thank you for your emails and tweets checking in on us here, we're all just fine, if not a little sleepy. Back (again) a bit later, I just wanted to pop in and say hi.
