What I’m currently up to …

(January 20, 2024)
It’s the new year now and things are going well. We are in the spring semester and again teaching a full class load. I’m past the whole holiday period now. Thanksgiving isn’t too bad, but I find the Christmas window somewhat less than for me. With family scattered all about, it’s hard to feel overly joyous. But it’s January now and despite being the middle of winter things are sunny, today anyway. We’ve had a couple of winter storms blow through fortunately with only minimum damage. I was able to close out the Lake Moultrie Passage with Radar in September (see my hiking the dike posts). I had a hike scheduled this month to take a group on part of the Swamp Fox but we’ve pushed it back to March due to below-freezing temperatures. Weather-wise it will be better for new hikers and they should enjoy the hike in the spring more.
