PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Delurking Day '09

Apparently Delurking Day* is happening here in the great Blogosphere, with dates ranging from last Saturday to Monday. Regardless, the idea behind the day is that readers of blogs are to stop lurking in the cyberworld and start leaving comments on the various blogs that they read. Feedback and new friends are supposed to be a good thing.

I have questions though:

Who comes up with these things and publicizes them to the blogging community? 'Cause, I missed the memos and e-mails.

Also, who designed the logo, because, I SERIOUSLY think I've seen that guy on the subway before!

And finally, do I have time to moderate the comments if and when you all start commenting again? That's really a rhetorical question at this point, since you, my readers are mostly lurkers.

I know people ARE reading this, as the counter tells me so (unless it's me segueing the results). If you do decide to delurk and comment, please say hi! politely, of course, keeping in mind my guidelines for comments (see my caveats below). Let me know what topics you'd like me to address in future posts, if you'd like to continue our lapsed Teaching Moments or Items of the Week, what goes on your Grateful List, etc.

Go ahead. Delurk, you lurkers, you.

*Thanks for the heads up Krippy!

I hope I'm not a lurker. And, how do I get a counter on my blog?

It's hard to Delurk when you monitor comments you know.
