Back to school

I went back to my college office yesterday and today to begin preparing course materials for the fall semester. It went well. I am excited about trying to teach two identical classes back-to-back. I hope to share all the same materials. I think that will help a lot.

Why worry now about classes that do not begin for 12 weeks? Because I have no time for course planning in the next 12 weeks. This weekend I am going to Rochester, N.Y., to help my son move into his new home. Then on the 27th I head for a month in the mountains of North Carolina, with a writers retreat, a writers workshop and a week as writer in residence. There's a week on Mount Pisgah, visiting my other son. As soon as I get back, there is the weeklong Cape Cod Writer's Conference. The last two weeks in August, I will be on the staff of a Thich Nhat Hanh retreat in Pine Bush, N.Y.

I will try to update this blog regularly, but most of this time will be on remote mountaintops with little or no connectivity.
