Now, I use it to address the wonderful folks who have visited "Retirement and Relocation." I haven't been writing for seven years (just over one), but still I need a sabbatical. My creative juices, such as they are, are all flowing into getting ready to teach next month. I really want to do a good job -- having written speeches I know how easily an audience can get bored, even if a grade depends on feigning attention.
So, for now, I am signing off. But, if I have a great idea for one of these essays, I shall, like Gen. MacArthur, return. And, it may be that teaching will provide topics and ideas -- my own version of Up the Down Staircase. I will surely gather stories in the classroom, just as I plan to tell them.
Thank you, gentle readers, for joining me here in this time and space.
