this is no longer my blog

Well, it's getting to that time of the semester when one gets bogged down by trying to cram 14 weeks of work into the remaining two. It's a little bit of a struggle for me to keep my head above water at this point, with papers due and first call paperwork needing to be finished and books to read and projects to finish up. Unfortunately, some things need to give, and I'm afraid that one of those will need to be this blog. But do not fret! This is not good-bye. It is merely a "see you later" until I finish what NEEDS to be finished. And, I'm sure, I will continue to poke my head in here, if only briefly. Maybe just to drop a note to say that I am, indeed, still alive and kicking. And who knows. My resolve to focus on what I should be focusing on might not be that great. Or I might be struck with some great idea that I will just need to share with my blogging community. In that case, I'm sure I will find my way back here among you all. But, for right now, my intentions are to spend my time wisely on the work that needs doing.
Blessings during this holiday season, and I look forward to engaging in conversation with you all again, when I get to a point in my life where I am more capable to do some engaging.
