Half of solitude is over

It has been seventyseven days since Rema and Haema left for Denmark. According to Haema, another 59 days to freedom! Also, it has been exactly two months since Appu left home to live in the dorms at Iowa State University. I state all of this to showcase that I have survived so long.

Appu comes every weekend, well almost every weekend, to do his laundry and take in the full dose of TV! His midterms are over. He has not yet told me how he has fared. I hope he does well!

Though Rema's and Haema's on line diaries are more popular, I have been doing the web log for over two years. I strated using it more for my own sake. My reflections, my comments, and my tirades. Any one can read and comment on it. Since then I started this log and many more for various reasons. I use blogs as a teaching tool both in my graduate and undergraduate classes. I am hopeful that the personal log (this one), which also has Rema as a contributor will entertain and inform my family, both near and far!
