O Reader. I doubt that any of you come here anymore, but just in the least little chance of a case that you do, I think some explanation is in order.
School is out, which means days and days of wide open space for me, time like I never know it during the school year. Time for family, time for friends, time for (more) exercise, and reading, and lounging at the pool. Time for cooking and for projects and– Oh Yes– writing.
And I have been writing. Lots and Lots. I’ve been at work, too, on curriculum (lots and lots), outlining in new and clear ways what I’ve taught so that my successor in the 10th grade humanities class has an easier time of it, prepping for the new senior English classes I’ll be teaching. I hope to finish those tasks shortly. And then I’ll be writing Even More.
But not here. No, this is not the space for me these days. I have another, Much Larger project that has been waiting for my time for a Long Time, and I think this is the summer for it.
I do expect to write some here, but I can’t be doing it consistently while also giving my time to this other task. So silence– or General Silence– might be the name of game here for awhile.
As ever, I am grateful, O Reader, for your stopping in here, your checking on what I’m up to. I did just write something on That Other Blog just now, and of course you are more than welcome to look at that.
And now it’s back to the curriculum with me. I’ll finish this today and then (such hope!) I’m on to Other Things!
