Well, I still haven't settled enough to blog on a regular basis. I hope to set a specific time to do so, but for now you'll have to endure the hit & miss posts.
OK, what's new? Well, I have accepted the position of Program Coordinator for my department at OCC. What does that mean? I get to help in the administrative stuff (kinda like an assistant dean.) As a part of that, I will evaluate the adjunct faculty (rather than having the dean do it all himself.) Fortunately, Dean Strada will take me through the evaluation process several times before they "count." The other parts should be easy enough - the staff is very supportive and we are all excited to be working together. I get paid for this job as if I was teaching two additional classes in each of Fall and Spring semesters and one additional in Summer. It will mean I have to be at the college from 9 to 5 Monday through Friday (with a few evening and off-site evaluations) but I'm already there for that time anyway - it's the only place I can really get work done.
For those of you who did not hear, my wife is now the Ward Choir Director. She has an awesome Christmas program written and we will begin practicing it this week (there's the downside of changing choir directors after October Conference!) I'll leave the details for her blog - if she wants a topic for her next post.
On Halloween we all went downtown Toms River to see the parade (2nd largest in the country!) It started at 7pm. We were too cold to stay longer than 9pm. From my students who stayed for the duration I was told it lasted until 10pm! For those of us used to the Disneyland parade (30-45 minute wait and 20-30 minute parade in at least 60 degree weather) the Toms River parade was too long and too cold. There were some good marching bands and real steam engines that were entertaining, but next year we'll stay home.
Until the next break in the action,
Brad

Congratulations! That is very exciting news. I hope the new job responsibilities prove to be interesting and fulfilling. I think its very cool that you haven't even been there for a semester yet and you seem to already be making quite the wonderful impression. I'm really happy for you!
