Summer: Occupied

The summer gives many gifts to those of us who labor during the academic year. Being a teacher comes with many challenges, but this one gem of a perk outweighs almost all others. Summer. Who can resist its sultry call: the sounds of the river, the pervading smell of sunscreen, the heat driving all but lethargy from your body. This is life, this is happiness, this is heaven!

And with the summer comes Time. Bountiful, beautiful, endless Time! And so I've decided to put that tool to use and create a canvas for my words. Thus, the blog was born. There is no theme to this blog, no pressing purpose; only my desire to have a place to practice the craft of a wordsmith and keep myself occasionally occupied on the long, blessed summer days.

And so, happy summering, all!
