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”

Remembering Susan

Hello from Starbucks on the campus, It is an incredibly beautiful fall day, and the colors are spectacular. I spoke with the women painting the townhouse, and they were impressed at how clean I left everything, which meant a lot because they see a lot of stuff. It is strange to feel a bit homelessContinue reading “Remembering Susan”

Hello at the end of a busy, but beautiful, fall weekend, Slowly, but consistently, things are coming together for my finishing up my time in Bloomsburg.

Indeed, IContinue reading “What Compels Me to Take This Path”

I have been fortunate to spend some time this afternoon at the pool of good friends, and the view and couple hoursContinue reading “An Encounter with Elegance”

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”
