So in roughly 13 hours, I drop my wife off at the jetport and she'll be gone for the rest of the month attending the "intensive" face-to-face portion of her current semester of classes. This'll leave me all alone with the two cats until her return. It could be a long three weeks as the cats whine about the missing human. (chuckle)

So, what is she studying? The ministry for her church. Her school is a blended online/in-person program. Spend most of the semester at home connecting with other students online daily and then a week face-to-face for each course.
