Where oh where did the Holidays Go? And when did they Go?

Why are we at work and not at home? Who knows. It seems like it has been forever since Harley and I visited with you. Harley was very very busy over the past weekend putting away all of the holiday decorations and getting the condo back into normal living quarters. He was such a good little worker trying not to get in the way. And over all he did pretty good! Except we have a little secret which I can't tell right now, maybe at the end of the post.

After being out of the office for two weeks, we have done pretty well in getting back into the groove of things. The election ballots should be in the mail by Friday, Jan. 11. They will be sent out bulk so keep your eye on the snail mail box. Please be sure to vote!
A couple of other housekeeping items: 1) Be sure to pre-register for the upcoming National In-Service Conference in Milwaukee this coming April. Deadline for early preregistration is February 15; 2) If you are a state leader, don't forget the upcoming National Assembly meeting April 8-9, 2008, just prior to the national convention; 3) The next NEB meeting will be April 6-8, 2008, just prior to the national assembly meeting which is prior to the national convention (I just love prior stuff); and 4) Ballots will need to be returned into MENC Headquarters by March 21.

Hope you all have a good week while Harley and me still try to get a few more things done today. Harley is having a little bit of a tough time right now. He hated to see all his "buds" get packed up into boxes and put under the stairs. He knows he won't get to see all the little holiday criters until next year and so he was having a tough time coming out of the box we were trying to pack up. By next week I'm sure he will be fine. It is going up to 70 degrees here tomorrow and I promised him that he could go play tennis with me. Yes, he is starting to cheer up and looking for those yellow tennis balls.
