Week of Dec 1 to Dec 5, 2014

Welcome back from Thanksgiving break and an early taste of Winter.   It's hard to believe that, a) we're now in December;  b) we're just about half-way through the 2nd quarter;  and c) only 3 class weeks until Christmas break.   BTW:  Dec 7th is next Sunday.  It's a "day that will live in infamy" as FDR spoke to Americans after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan.
