Blogs and Passings

I promised my son's blog url; here it is:
http://bdcinberlin.blogspot.com
I hope you enjoy it. For those interested in the highlands of Scotland, my daughter's boyfriend is also blogging while at graduate school in Sterling, Scotland.
Here is the link to his blog: http://scotlandsirishguest.blogspot.com
Here is the url of my son's girlfriend's blog: http://cmbudapest.blogspot.com/ (She is studying in Budapest, Hungary for this term.)
I love the names of these blogs. Ben's link is "BDC in Berlin" and Kevin's is "Scotland's Irish Guest". The actual name of Kevin's blog is "Living in the land of haggis and Wallace" and Ben's is "Bier, Berlin, Begeisterung." Claire's blog is titled "More than Math." enjoy...

I just heard that Mary Travis (of Peter, Paul & Mary) passed away day before yesterday. I was really saddened by the news; I am an old "folky" who loves to sing and play all kinds of folk music. I am enheartened that she remained an activist right up until her death.

May we all sing our own songs with dignity, compassion and authenticity.

More Transitions... oofda!

Hey all: Nice to have you visit!
Here in St. Paul my wife and I are getting our son off to Berlin, Germany for his off-campus study abroad term. He's a junior in college this year and I can't really believe it! Why do kids have to grow up so fast? Anyway, I know things will go well for him and we are really excited for him. He will blog while he's there and I'll reference that as soon as I get it.
My wife starts back with students tomorrow (9/8); and after Ben flies out tomorrow afternoon it will be "life back to 'normal' here" I guess. Keep reading...
