Where Have You Gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Got home from work and grocery shopping, conked out, and before I knew it Tuesday had become Wednesday and my streak of daily posting had ended. Don’t let the date stamp fool you – this is being written on Thursday and retroactively posted through the magic of date stamp editing. Why? So if anyone clicks on the date in the calendar, they’ll learn that September 20 was a date where I didn’t actually say anything and understand the reason why. It also gives me a chance to reflect on the effort to post daily. It has been a challenge since the school year started, but so has just about everything up to and including remembering where my glasses are. The challenges of every day’s classes give me a lot to reflect about in terms of my education practice, but I don’t want those posts to totally overwhelm the blog. Also, it takes a lot of energy to write, and I’m still working on mustering it. But I’m going to try to start a new streak tomorrow. Er, today. You know what I mean.
