As blogfodder, I am considering either beginning a tumblr account or investigating/participating in one of the online weaving forums offered by interweave's Weaving Today.  The former would involve pulling me further out of my comfort zone--a place I am spending very little time this semester anyway.  I could actually participate actively in a weaving forum without being an intellectual tourist.  Actually, I might participate in the latter in any case . . .

About the Author

Having waved goodbye to my first half-century, I have begun a new adventure, or perhaps restarted an old one.  I'm in school at University of Alaska Anchorage getting my Master's in English, with the intention of teaching beginning writing.  This is my first term teaching freshman composition.  So far there have been no casualties.

The decades-long hiatus is the result of a decision to focus on my family while the children were young and the elderly needed my attention.  The children are in school at UAA also, and don't need a lot of supervision (suggestions and advice, perhaps, but not supervision).

I am an avid weaver, sing soprano in my church choir, play handbells, and love to cook.  Had you told me at this time last year that blogging was in my future I would have laughed at you.  As the Peanuts characters used to say long  ago,  "Sidney or the bush!

Beginnings

From my current location in the digital cretaceous, I am beginning to crawl toward the current century.  This is the second of three blogs that I will work with this semester.  What I may find to talk about is yet to be discovered.
