Hello from JFK, It is exactly a year ago today that I would be leaving Lydia for a last time. It was an amazing day because Carissa was able to get the little tornado into the shower and wash her hair and get her a bit more comfortable. The picture here is of her thatContinue reading “Remembering an Amazing Life”

Juggling or Staying Afloat
Good early morning, For someone who does not really enjoy water, it seems that the metaphors regarding it are enveloping my writing as of late. I noticed this trend even as I have been writing announcements in BOLT (really D2L), the course management system we use here at Bloomsburg. I got home last night andContinue reading “Juggling or Staying Afloat”
Believing the Best
Good early morning, It is 3:29 a.m. and I have been awake for a bit . This past week has been a whirlwind. I am supposed to be in Kentucky right now, but that took a back seat to other more pressing things. Hurricanes disrupted travel, and delayed connections meant sleeping in an airport beforeContinue reading “Believing the Best”
Thinking Carefully; Wondering Broadly
Good Morning from the diner, As I write this I have reminisced and realized that on this date, my Great-aunt Helen, probably one of the more elegant women I have ever known, would be celebrating a birthday today. I need to do some searching on a year, but I am imagining she would be aroundContinue reading “Thinking Carefully; Wondering Broadly”
Imagining the next Chapter
Hello on a Sunday evening, It is the end of the weekend and while I got some things accomplished, it was somewhat a weekend of socializing with colleagues, some former students, and establishing some more formalized relationships with some wonderful people I have known mostly from a distance. It was a weekend where I wasContinue reading “Imagining the next Chapter”
Creating Closure
Good Morning from Pennsylvania, from the Upper Sanctum, from an airport, from Fog and Flame, I have been working on this blog for more than three weeks, but there have been so many things on my plate that it got pushed off the stove. As I write this part, I am here in Menomonie, havingContinue reading “Creating Closure”
Tartar de Entender
Bueno temprano en mañana, I am going to attempt with both what I know and some translator- assistance to write this first part in Spanish. I am back working on my language acquisition skills diligently, so this is good work for me to do. At the end of my poly-lingual writing I will provide aContinue reading “Tartar de Entender”
Lucha de Probabilidades
Buenas Días, I had an excellent day today in spite of the fact that I got to by office by 7:15 a.m. and it is 9:15 p.m. and I am still here. I do plan to leave shortly, though I might try to be back at 3:30 or 4:00 in the morning. While tomorrow isContinue reading “Lucha de Probabilidades”
Saying Goodbye to an Unequaled Love
Good Christmas Morning, As I sit in Lydia’s room, my brain flashes memory after memory of Christmases past through the movie screen inside my head. My earliest memories of Christmas are always at my grandmother’s house in Sioux City, IA where I grew up. My grandmother had a sort of an old farm house outContinue reading “Saying Goodbye to an Unequaled Love”
Traditions of Christmas
Hello on the day retailers go into the Black, I am probably not helping them make any goal today and I am grading and attending to matters that somehow once again seem beyond my control. I do not plan to do much shopping, if any today, and I have other things I want to tryContinue reading “Traditions of Christmas”
