Hello on a late Sunday evening, It has been an incredibly busy semester (and it feels like an entire semester had been crammed into 4 weeks and yet, the time has flown by). That is not what is causing this sense of being caught up in the middle of a tornado of sorts, it isContinue reading “So Many Thoughts . . .”

Three Score and Three
Good early morning from the acre, It is about 4:40 a.m. and I went to bed last night after a wonderful dinner out and then coming home to commenting and grading. I woke up a short time ago and after lying in bed rather wide awake, I decided to get up and work on aContinue reading “Three Score and Three”
Observing Responses to Greatness and Humility
Good Saturday evening, I am back in my office needing to work on a multitude of things, but my mind cannot get the images of so many who attended the funeral of the Honorable Late Senator John S. McCain III and the resounding tribute about a human being who epitomized the serving of a causeContinue reading “Observing Responses to Greatness and Humility”
The World is a Provocative Place
Hello from Richmond, I would like to take credit for the title, but it is something I heard someone say on NPR the other day, and it stuck with me. I think what causes me pause is to ask a question of whether one could always make such an argument or whether the degree toContinue reading “The World is a Provocative Place”
Nie koniec; Tylko początek
Dzień dobry z UJ i Krakowie. Yesterday I took two parts of a final exam at the end of an intensive Polish course. We crammed about 15 weeks into 17 days and I will be honest, my head is swimming. This morning, after a significant nap yesterday and a pretty substantive night of sleep IContinue reading “Nie koniec; Tylko początek”
So Now You’re on Vacation
Hello from Kraków, Poland, I am sure you are now convinced by my salutation that I must surely be on a vacation to the EU, eating more than my share of pierogis and drinking Polish vodka. Well, one of the three is correct. I am doing my level best to consume as many kinds ofContinue reading “So Now You’re on Vacation”
Pages and Chapters . . . How do we Measure?
Hello from the corner chair, I have a lovely chair in the corner of my room. I think I should probably spend more time here than I do. It is a comfortable place and it has wonderful lighting, especially in the morning when the sun comes streaming into the bedroom windows. It is a chairContinue reading “Pages and Chapters . . .

Drive-ins, a 70 Gran Torino and My Schwinn String Ray Apple Crate
Hello on a Father’s Day morning, Yesterday I was out on the Harley riding to a college graduation party of one of my traveling students. She was on the Poland trip 2 1/2 years ago. I took the scenic route, or what the GPS on the Harley calls the twisty route. Somehow the last 24Continue reading “Drive-ins, a 70 Gran Torino and My Schwinn String Ray Apple Crate”
The Truth and Tragedy about Racism
Hello from back in PA, As I spent the evening trying to catch up on the unending stream of craziness that seems to dominate the world, but what we call news, the irony of the day was as Starbucks closed its doors for a corporate training on what they euphemistically called implicit bias training whileContinue reading “The Truth and Tragedy about Racism”
When or How did it (or What Just) Happen(ed)?
Hello from the acre, Today I spent some significant time at Starbucks in a neighboring town working on a couple of important things. It was a bit of a long weekend as my wonderful fragment of a GI track seemed to demand more attention than I was prepared to provide, but it won out asContinue reading “When or How did it (or What Just) Happen(ed)?”
