Not complaining

We spend a lot of the summer wishing for rain, so I'm trying to be positive about all the moisture we're having now. The yard never stays this green for so long, and the flowers seem happy (ducks too!). This isn't that unusual - I returned to Bozeman in 1989 for MSU graduation and it was cold and rainy that June, too (MSU was on quarters then so graduation was later). So I pretend this is Seattle (or Ireland, as someone else suggested) and enjoy using my umbrella, which normally is neglected.

Staff training update: hopefully this week we can have people begin the first lesson or two. I will be working on later lessons to get them ready - things like Flickr and YouTube. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's blogs!
