Taking Inventory

I just looked back and realized that I've been blogging since the middle of March ... How crazy!

Even after all those months, I'm still not quite sure that I have "the hang of it" yet. I mean, part of me bemoans the lack of comments and wonders if I'm just that boring or inconsequential that no one feels compelled to respond. Then, the other part of me writes each blog entry and thinks: "Gosh, I hope that no one reads this!" It's like I want the recognition and the validation that what I'm doing is making some sort of difference, but I also want to fly under the radar.

I guess, you can't really have it both ways.

Anyway, to those of you that do routinely read my ramblings, thanks for sticking around! My sitemeter actually shows me that some of you come back ... On a consistent basis (!?), no less ... So I must be doing something right.

Hopefully, once (if?) I land a job for the fall, and get back into the swing of teaching, I'll have more stories and worthwhile anecdotes to share. Right now, the wells are pretty much dried up and I'm chugging along without much inspiration, but I do enjoy the challenge and coming up with something every now and again. I'll be gone all next week with the in-laws, so maybe I can accumulate some material there ...
