Back from Australia

I'm back from the long trip down under. 28 hour day yesterday..25
hours in transit. Body clock is a bit messed up (notice time of this
post). Hope to be back to regular blogging and wake/sleep schedule by
end of the week.

Below is pic from lovely harbour in Hobart Tazmania. A lovely quaint
village.

Its great to be back.

On the road again - down under to Australia - blog break

I'm on the road again for work-related business. I will be "down under" (Australia) from Sept 12 to Sept 29 presenting at the APS Conference and conducting three workshops on the Australian Adaptation of the WJ III. I don't expect much time to blog...except for possible "push" type FYI posts re: content posted at other blogs.

I shall return mate!
