The end of Spring here at KUCI. The Summer Season of Programming begins tomorrow, roughly a week before Summer begins in the rest of the world, but that's just the way KUCI rolls when it comes to the vacation months. We'll be back at this same time during the summer, though, so stand by for that!

June! Which makes me think that Summer might be coming along here in a minute of two...

Not this week, though, so no need to start panicking yet.
