Well, I survived the first week of school. Thousands have done the same, some haven’t. Lots of hard work and a few small victories, and one big victory.

Ring Theory was the hardest class I took in college, and up till now it’s been the toughest work I ever did. Dethronement happened: lesson planning has taken first place, and we’re not talking winning by a millisecond, this is an all-out Usain Bolt style annihilation. The competition wasn’t beat…there was no competition.

Head down, keep your legs moving, and don’t forget to breathe, dave.
