Maiden voyage II

I picked the sunniest day of January to start a blog. Go figure. I should be out running, skiing, walking briskly through the streets....

What I hope for this blog-experience:
--that I will keep it up. I do write journals (old-fashioned leather bound variety), so maybe I can carry over into this venue.
--that I might use it as a space to reflect on "place." Since I taught a grad. course last summer on Writing a Sense of Place, I have been intrigued about trying to write/engage the concept of place through everyday experience. I hope to write some about Syracuse, about my passage between the eastcoast and the westcoast as a transplant to upstate New York from Washington state.
--that I can get some of the folks at the Nottingham to try their hands at blogs. They are curious about them.
--that I can read the blogs of my colleagues. They are always jawing about their blogs and urging me to visit them, well it's showtime now.

Well, off to the MOST....
