There is always a tish of melancholy each year after another FEMA Hi Ed Conference has been put to bed because I know I will not likely see these folks again for an entire year. I wish I could see them more often, but life and budgets don't allow the hi ed community the luxury of too much travel. [...]

#4
As I shared ever briefly earlier in the week, I have a volunteer for the husband #4 slot. My pal Scot Phelps encouraged me to share husband #4 information on my blog so my regular readers could chime in on whether he sounded like good husband material. #4, as I will refer to him here, [...]

These are my people...people who think like me...people who care about the same things as [...]
Embracing my inner Pollyana…
I scan the daily news online at InForum. Lately I have noticed that the Casey Anthony trial has been featured on the front page of InForum. I don't want to read that stuff. The fact that such a precious little life was snuffed out by her sociopath of a mother makes me sick. I don't [...]
