's'been awhile

Can't say exactly why it has been so long since I last posted.  Life has been ok with little bits of busyness interspersed with mind numbing boredom and some work exhaustion.  Study is going well and I am on to my second paper.  We have been up to the snow and out to the beach.  Nic has done some cool stuff during the holidays and we have seen some movies and read heaps of books.  Sadly the cameras have all fallen at the hands of the small person and we have no or very few photos to share.  So, that's it really.  When I have a bit more energy I will jot down a few lines about some of the books and movies and dig up a few phone pics of our adventures.
