Good morning from Maine where the rain we didn’t have all summer has arrived in force today.
I have to start this week’s week-in-review on a somber note as this afternoon I am going to the memorial service for my friend and former colleague, Steve Ray. Steve and I team taught a couple of courses in the last two years before he retired. Steve was a master of the Socratic method and he truly seemed to enjoy reading and editing students’ writing. Which is why when I introduced blogging to our class, he liked the concept despite the fact that he didn’t personally want to use a classroom computer for much more than entering grades into our schools’ LMS. We were a good match. He was a great man. Many in our community will miss his thoughtful leadership.
On a cheerier note, Isla, my daughter, is now two months old and growing like a weed. She’s happy to bounce around in her carrier on hikes. If the weather improves, we’ll get outside for a hike this weekend.
