Hello from my office on a Sunday evening, The past week felt like I was hanging on by a thread and the single strand will be stretched and possibly frayed before the end of the coming week. I thought the fall was the busiest of the semesters I have had here at Bloom, but itContinue reading “Music, Images, Work, and . . .”

Beginning a Morning at Fog and Flame
Good morning from the @Fog_and_Flame, I came in early this morning to get my ducks-in-a-row and try to get ahead of the game a bit. As we are already a third of the way through the semester this week, I am realizing how quickly some things are coming. It is a bit disconcerting at best,Continue reading “Beginning a Morning at Fog and Flame”
Pleasant Surprises
Hello from the study in my house, It was a busy, but productive, week as I noted in both my Facebook and Twitter accounts. Today I had the opportunity to serve as a judge of the Pennsylvania Forensics Association competition that was held here at Bloom. I judged both debate and poetry. I was soContinue reading “Pleasant Surprises”
Snow, Classes, Choices
Good late Sunday evening, I have been working on school work most of the weekend, but returned from the Legislative Assembly of the Faculty Union on Saturday. I am alway amazed by what I learn at these assemblies. I am amazed by the hard work and tremendous scholars that is conducted and are present atContinue reading “Snow, Classes, Choices”
Organized Randomness
Good afternoon from the Fog and Flame, I think I need a vacation. Many might say you just had one, but what I think I need is a working vacation, one where I can focus, in an uninterrupted manner. What might I do with such a “respite” of sorts? The first thing I would doContinue reading “Organized Randomness”
Writing, Organizing or Procrastinating
Hello from the Fog and Flame, I am in the Fog and Flame working on getting organized for the coming week. It is always a hope that I have my ducks-in-a-row, but to be honest, as my students will surely confirm, there are times I am more on top of things than other moments. WhileContinue reading “Writing, Organizing or Procrastinating”
Wisconsin Weather in Pennsylvania
Good Morning from my office, I am still working on housekeeping details for the new semester and this little corner of the world, known as 119B Bakeless, has seen more of me than any other place. For the last 13 days, it seems I have spent more time at my desk and worked on moreContinue reading “Wisconsin Weather in Pennsylvania”
Commencement
Good snowy morning (it is after midnight as I write this) from Pennsylvania, Earlier today I participated in the winter commencement event for the College of Education and the College of Liberal Arts here at Bloomsburg University, where I serve students as a professor in the English Department and as the director of a professionalContinue reading “Commencement”
Conferencing and Remembering
As I begin to write this, I am actually blogging on my phone and in the Detroit airport. While I have, perhaps, flown though DTW more than any other airport (MSP could be first), it has been some time since I have flown to the U.P.. I remember flying with Dale Sullivan to Atlanta fromContinue reading “Conferencing and Remembering”
I Think I Can . . . I think I can . . . I think
Good morning, So I had about four paragraphs written and I did something on my new tablet and lost the entire post. Even though it told me it had saved a draft, no such thing was true. Dammit!! I actually began this post last night when I was doing student conferences. I got all ofContinue reading “I Think I Can . . . I think I can . . . I think”
