New Start: 2010

As usual, this will be a mediocre "hello" to start my new blog. For any of you who followed me on MySpace, welcome! To new readers, I hope you enjoy.

Today is January 2, 2010 (for me, it is actually the close of Jan. 1--time for bed to be sure). I am in the midst of moving; my 3rd move 2.5 years, and my 7th new home since graduating from college in 1995. This move is necessitated because I recently resigned my job as a residence hall director, so I'm moving into my own apartment. As of January 7, I will be voluntarily unemployed, and I will be a full-time doctoral student as of January 11.

If you are a new reader to my blogging, be advised that this posting is *not* typical. Not that I have a typical post, but I generally don't post a diary. I tend more toward observations, perspectives, and occasional poetry. If you'd like to read my poetry, visit my wiki page.

That's all for now. Happy New Year!
