First day - Spring Semester

First day of school for the Spring semester: ECO 108 with Prof. William Dawes; I think it should be a fun class, he's got a great sense of humor. 340 students enrolled, so we have to have a "pulse checker" as a required piece of equipment for the class. Interesting item, the CPS; it looks like a TV remote and it's used among other things to check attendance and offer answers. I talked to Steve last night. It was nice to catch-up, it's been a couple of years since we last chatted. I was supposed to work a swim meet with Nelson Gonzalez at Sachem East: a double-dual, since the combined teams of Deer Park and North Babylon exceed the maximum number of swimmers for a single team- weather related postponement. 18 more days to Costa Rica!!!
