Thursday of Spring Break

A week between winter and spring quarters is too short. By Tuesday all grades have been submitted. In the last two days, worked on all course websites, except the one I don't have much control myself. Even for that course, the first few modules could be made available to students. Even though I offered to go through every item myself, the bureaucrats still wanted to go through all the items. I actually did review the first five module which are ready to go. The "administrators" think that they know much more than the actual instructor who created the content and who interacts with the students who use it. Eventually, I may have to clean up some of the mess created.
At least tomorrow, we can take a break. The train trip to Washington, DC from Charleston, WV on board Amtrak's "Cardinal" starts at 8:30 AM. Will post again later with some more photos. The photos of Eastobound Cardinal, the New River Gorge Bridge and the Babock Mill are from Flickr Commons. They are gratefully acknowledged.
