Wow, wow, wow
I have to say that I was beyond impressed by the presentation provided today by the students of the Cooperstown Graduate Program. They were 100% professional, very positive, and they have clearly outlined very realistic next steps for Oneonta World of Learning (OWL). I cannot thank them enough, and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of their complete evaluation - a very thick book outlining their research, complete with accompanying cd filled with reference materials.
They gave their presentation at the Fenimore Art Musuem. Do drop by there tonight and see It's A Wonderful Life on the large screen (for a nickel!).

Cruel to be kind
Tomorrow, the Cooperstown Graduate Program will present the results of their semester's study on, well, Oneonta World of Learning (OWL). A part of me wants them to be kind. After all, we've worked so hard. Yet I know that isn't what we need. What we are truly hoping for is an honest evaluation of our organization, the area we live in, and the road ahead.
Perhaps I'm equally excited about just getting together with my team mates.

'Tis the season
I for one couldn't be happier with our first snow fall this season! The tree in Muller Plaza couldn't look better and the sledding is terrific, especially since this year the boys are eagerly pulling their own sleds up the hill! What a difference a year makes.
We also made graham cracker houses for the first time together. NOT a recipe for a relaxing family evening! But fun nonetheless. The mess in the foreground: my oldest decided that his house was caving in from snow.

Happy Holidays everyone!
