Inner Dialogue

I had a friend and former colleague ask me how things were going. We hadn't talked in a little while, so I gave her the cliff notes version below. When I read it over, I realized I have a heck of a lot to be grateful for. This is what I wrote:

Life in general is good :-) I love my job and the people I am working with. The drive is fantastic. I read (well, listened to) more books in the fall semester than I had a chance to read all year long. If you go to my blog and click the Recent Books button on the left side (scroll down a bit) you’ll see what I listened to. It was awesome :-) I post all sorts of stuff there so it’s a good way to keep up on what’s going on with me.

Let’s see… what else… I got a new golden retriever puppy this summer who is now a moose dog. She’s cool. Hopefully I’ll be showing her in the spring. I’m doing 2 conference presentations at TechEd, one with some colleagues from CC and BC and the other with a Pepperdine prof. Also doing one at NECC in Philly this summer. Writing an article and fleshing out a book idea with the Pepperdine prof.

Got myself a Nikon D-70 digital camera with an additional 70-300mm zoom lens and absolutely loving learning how to take pictures. I can’t even drive to Porterville without pulling over a couple of times to take pictures of the awesome scenery we have around here. Finding a sense of balance after the chaos of divorce last year, and settling in to a new life… kids are doing great in school and at home :-)
