Greetings again, fellow history loggers. Let me start by saying, congrats on making it to Fall Break! I know I, for one, am excited for a few days off. Try making the most of it! Find new places to eat, explore Tacoma or Seattle, do a little reading at night. There's plenty of things you could schedule into your Fall Break for fun and learning.

Don't forget that next Friday we will be having our fall History Department gathering! There will be congratulations given to Katherine Smith and Nancy Bristow on the completion of their books, tasty treats, discussion about spring courses and afterwards...bowling! Our meeting will take place at 4 PM in Wyatt 109.

Have fun this weekend!

This Day In History:
-539 B.C.: Cyrus the Great conquers Babylon
-1823: Charles Macintosh sells the first raincoat
-1979: The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams is published

--Your very excited and tired History Department assistant
