That's going to be my goal this summer. Speaking of which, yes, that summer vacation is here! The teaching is going very well; the wrestling with colleagues and the administration not so well. Luckily, I have this time to recharge and, of all things, get married: on the 28th, my fiancee and I are getting hitched! So, there's that wonderful event (honeymoon in December) and much reading and writing to look forward to, as well. Enjoy your Oregon summer. I have an uncle who lives in Ashland, and I have to say that is some beautiful country. I was hugely impressed with Mt. Shasta, and just that comforting feel of the surrounding mountains.

Enjoy your Oregon summer. I have an uncle who lives in Ashland, and I have to say that is some beautiful country. I was hugely impressed with Mt. Shasta, and just that comforting feel of the surrounding mountains.

It seems the poem has brought people a smile. The blog, as I'm sure you know (I still check in to the Englishman) - well, I don't know how the "dailies" keep it up (I like yr new format, by the way). I've been trying for a "weekly" lately, but am not quite there. Like poetry - you never know when you're going to bump your head on an idea. How's the teaching going? You should about be ready for a summer vacation? Thanks, Ryan. It seems the poem has brought people a smile.
