An Absence of Some Months

The past few months I've been involved in helping develop a sustainability center at Triton College. The process is not yet complete. More news to come regarding this exciting development.

It sounds like an exciting project, Adrian; I look forward to hearing more about it.
Hi Jean,

It is very exciting, but busy. I'm to be the new sustainability center coordinator, so goodbye to teaching for awhile.
