News/Travel:Travel planning for 2015 continues apace and will continue into the New Year.  Texas was off the list and is now back on, though no dates are set yet.  Cincinnati and Lexington-area colleges have been added for early June and I'll be back in Lynchburg, VA in October.  (And by then, it'll be Christmas 2015 already!)The latest from the NCEA is here as well.The College Prep Invitational Horse Show runs January 16 - January 19, 2015.  Meeting slots are available Thursday afternoon and evening, as well as Sunday evening and early Monday morning before my flight.  If we need to get appointments on the calendar, please let me know between now and January 15. Seniors:Those of you I've spoken with have been incredibly fortunate in getting admitted to your early action schools.  (We planned it that way when we chose them, remember?)
