Hello from another day of grading and coffee shops (not completely, but I will explain), It is another weekend, and for the moment it seems more like a September afternoon (though now overcast) than almost Halloween.

Larger Voices Calling
Hello from about an hour from Oslo, I am in Norway, a country significant to my family heritage and childhood memories, but for the first time.

As we leave the gate and taxi toward the runway, my thoughts begin to consider the next days and, it is certainly unfortunate that I must already see Poland as a memory. However, what a wonderful fewContinue reading “Life Beyond”
Sprinting towards what . . . ?
Good evening from the corner of my study, It has been a busy few days, which certainly seems to be the norm rather than an exception. I remember saying that last semester was busier than any I had ever participated in. At that point, I could not fathom that this semester could, in any wayContinue reading “Sprinting towards what . . . ?”
