Now, pick your jaw up off the ground...no real surprises--it's our new Rotary Exchange Student, Konstantine, who has come to spend a year at Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville. More on K later, but suffice to say that he's German, he plays the piano--very, very well, I might add-- and...well, he's just all around FABULOUS!

We have begun the college application process for Boy. Ayeayeaye...what paperwork. More on THAT later as well.
