While the weather was certainly less than idealContinue reading “Rhetorical Strategies”

If you have never had it, can you miss it?

Good Morning from my office, I got in early today and I have been trying to work my way through a list of things that seems to never reach the bottom. I guess that is a good thing because I have decided if the list is empty, either I am really bored, which I haveContinue reading “If you have never had it, can you miss it?”

Winter needs to melt Away

Good evening from my office, I am working on grading and my own writing, but realized I have not posted for a few days.

Progressing

Two Steps Forward . . .

Taking a Break (from reading to doing)

Good evening from my office, Somehow, for the first time since I can remember, I actually had no clue that this morning was the beginning of the switch to daylight savings time. I am not sure how, but when I woke up and it was supposedly 9:00 a.m., I was astounded that I had sleptContinue reading “Taking a Break (from reading to doing)”
