Good early morning, It is shortly after 5:00 a.m. and as is typically the case, or so it seems, I am awake and my brain is racing along with possibilities than what seems reasonably conceivable to me.

A Mid-Summer’s Night in a Dream
Hello on an early Wednesday morning, It has been some time since I posted, and if you know me that means that I need to get some order to my life. It could also be that I am trying to do too much. Someone who has known me 2/3 of my life, albeit from aContinue reading “A Mid-Summer’s Night in a Dream”
Reflections on Learning in our 24/7 Classroom
Hello late in the evening from Kraków, As we finished the last day of actual classes today, students scattered to the winds to have dinner and manage their last evening before their convocation at Jagiellonian University’s hallowed halls tomorrow. They will actually occupy a building and room (for a couple of amazing hours) that CopernicusContinue reading “Reflections on Learning in our 24/7 Classroom”
A Conscious Decision or the Consequence of Many
Dzień Dobry from my little room in Garbarska, It has been a productive day and a day where I decided to focus on my own work rather than the needs of the group. That is not always an easy thing for me to do, but it is something I should learn to do more often, orContinue reading “A Conscious Decision or the Consequence of Many”

Kairotic Moments – Rhetorical or Fateful?
Good late evening or early morning, It is 11:38 p.m.,; so while it is technical a very late “good evening”, I am asserting for me it is very early morning. That is because I just woke up, after going to bed, for probably the 15th time in the last month, before 8:30 in the evening.Continue reading “Kairotic Moments – Rhetorical or Fateful?”
Diversions, Dastardly Deeds, and Directions
Hello from another airport, I can honestly say in 40 years of flying I had never had a pressurization issue in an airplane. That streak as now ended. We could not reach cruising attitude and they had to divert the plane. The most important thing is they managed the issue professionally and calmly, and whileContinue reading “Diversions, Dastardly Deeds, and Directions”
Life Beyond
Hello from an Airbus 330, I am sitting in Row 48 in die Flug und im Berlin-Tegel Flughafen. 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.
