     2009 is another year of beginnings!  That is ringing very true for me.  My wife and I were empty nesters but now our youngest has moved back home.  I guess this transition period will last up to seven years according to articles I've been reading.  

     I partnered with Genesys Works this summer, teaching area High School students general IT skills.

     I'm currently at Inver Hills Community College teaching in the Computer and Networking Technology Associate of Applied Science program.  The courses I'm teaching are Administering Windows Operating Systems and Managing a Windows Server Environment. I am also on Sabbatical this year.

     This summer I had the opportunity to attend the 13th Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education held in Seattle.  I was able to meet many colleagues who teach at various institutions around the world in the area of Information Assurance.  I am looking forward to developing these connections further.  I also attended the Cisco Networking Academy conference in Orlando.  Once again I met many new colleagues and learned a lot of new stuff to apply in my classroom.
