Engineering | August 16, 2022 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another wonder-filled installment of This Week in Spring! It's been a week! Sometimes I can scarcely believe it myself. And can you believe it's August 16th already?? My daughter's starting school this week! We're in the northern hemisphere, and Summer break is already over and done with for her.

Aloha, Spring fans! I'm on vacation, reporting to you from the paradise-like island of Maui, Hawaii, and hoping that you're having a wonderful day! My family and I love Hawaii. It's brimming with beauty and serenity, and while the island of Maui, in the state of Hawaii, is very small, the islands are humbling. They make you feel so very small.
