We’re Playing “Guess How Much Snow?”

Greetings from campus, Deac families!  Your students got to see a bunch of snow yesterday, though none of it stuck to the ground.  It started snowing early – big, chunky flakes at first, and then it tapered off to smaller flakes throughout the day.  At […]


Friday at Zick’s

I had a meeting on Friday afternoon at Zick’s, the on-campus pizza/pool/pub spot.  As we sometimes do at the Daily Deac, here is an impressionistic view of the 20ish minutes I had to peoplewatch and observe. I see: – One student at a the […]

Our thoughts are with all the Deac families dealing with snow today, especially our friends to the south who do not have the sort of infrastructure needed to salt and plow.  Hope you are faring well. Our campus started seeing snow yesterday (Tuesday) in the […]
