tk -- Glad you are seeing some improvement. You have such a great attitude. I could use a little of that here if you have any to share.

frank -- I hope your headaches continue to diminish.

Sandy -- glad to hear that your hubby's appointment went well.

vonn -- Good Luck!

Renne-- I have been thinking about you. I am so sorry that you have had so much to go through. I hope your husband has a successful surgery and a quick recovery.

My update -- have been ordering books for my courses next fall. They are so expensive. We have a textbook rental system here so the students do not have to buy their books. The faculty all hate it because it puts strict limits on how often we can order new books and how much money we can spend. But the students and parents love it ,and I do understand why. I found a new textbook for my gender and law class that looks great and is only 55.00 (that is a bargain; believe me) so I am really excited. And it is only 650 pages long. Won't the students love it?
