Hello All: I’m finishing up a conference in San Diego. I have about an hour before I leave for the airport, so I thought I’d do a short blog post. The conference was for deans and associate deans. I met a lot of interesting people. I’m still new in my role as associate dean so …

Somewhat local
The last day of September, Emily and I did a little traveling around Iowa and into Wisconsin. We are experiencing warm temps for late September. Around home it was 93 up by the Mississippi it was 88. Our first stop was a quick visit to Independence and the area where I work. Nothing too special …
In between Vacation Content
Hopefully everyone is doing okay with all this heat and here in Iowa, the humidity!! I thought I would share my current priority project as it is getting to a point where I’m going to put the finishing touches to it lower on the priority list. I got this boat a couple years before I …
Back!
We made it back. It was a very long day and both flights were full and both had loud children. Noise canceling headphones were good to have! Flying is the only bad part about going on vacation. I got flagged for extra screening today. So I had to get wiped down to make sure that …
Last Day
Today was our last full day in Costa Rica. Our flight leaves tomorrow around 2pm, so I’m hoping I have time to swing through the Farmer’s Market quickly in the morning. Our taxi doesn’t come until 10am so we should have a little bit of extra time. This morning, we picked up a few souvenirs …
Time to Pay the Piper

Lemon Pie
Well, I’ve had three of these little lemon pies in the last 4 days. They are delicious. I think the meringue is toasted marshmallow cream. We found a food truck park near the beach. One of them sells mini-lemon pies. It also has mini-chocolate lava cakes and those are also good. I’ve had some delicious …
ATV
Today we did a private ATV tour with Blue Crab, they are middlemen that just add costs to the trip. We ended up with a company in Brasalito that was across the street from the one we used the last time we were here. That place was closed up though. The road was tore up …
Not much happened today
Hello readers! Today was a easy day on vacation. We walked this morning around town and picked up a couple souvenirs. I got a couple magnets for my collection. I also got an inflatable body board. I’m not sure why I continue to collect them. I used to get t-shirts and shot glasses but switched …
