Hello on another rainy evening in Pennsylvania, While I asserted we needed some substantial rain back in April, when showers are expected, it is now mid-June and the showers, drizzle, downpours, and incessant forms of precipitation continue. There have been flood warnings more than once, and yet, on a positive note, things are as greenContinue reading “Prayers and Promises”

Consistently Inconsistent
Hello on an atypical Saturday afternoon, When I first started this post we were about 1/2 the way through April, and rapidly approaching the Easter weekend. I had attended the PMEA State Choral concert in the Poconos. The picture is from our drive. It appeared and seemed anything but Spring, as the photo above illustrates.Continue reading “Consistently Inconsistent”
Best of Intentions
Hello from the Family Restaurant, It is almost a month since I began my trek back to Iowa with my loaded shuttle and the bug in tow. As I look at the process, there is progress on a number of fronts, but what one sees might belie the actual achievements. Likewise, settling in, managing dailyContinue reading “Best of Intentions”
Carpe Diem and a Field of Dreams

Is Frailty a Gift?
Hello from the front tables at La Malbec, This a somewhat quiet Saturday evening (with the exception of wannabe Fast and Furious cars or Harleys that need to prove they have customized their exhaust), and I am sitting almost exactly in the same place I first experienced La Malbec. It is only me alone ratherContinue reading “Is Frailty a Gift?”
Holy Water and the Burning Man
Hello on a beautiful, but seemingly summer day here in Bloomsburg, I spoke with some of my Wisconsin contacts today, and they were looking at some different possibilities than I as I am currently sitting out enjoying the cooling weather as the sun sets. We did not have much of a Spring, and it appearsContinue reading “Holy Water and the Burning Man”
Artificial Intelligence
Hello from breakfast on a Monday morning, I am sitting in Cracker Barrel waiting on my breakfast. The weekend was consumed by reading, commenting, grading, and is generally the case, there was some moaning, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, with some of that now occurring on the other side of the blank stare. My classContinue reading “Artificial Intelligence”
