On The Sly

Retirement from a teaching career has afforded me some interesting new opportunities, but, no doubt, the biggest surprise came weeks ago when someone asked, "Foxy, can you write a blog?" I've written paragraphs, essays, sports articles, magazine articles, (somewhat) scholarly reports, poems (they were terrible) and even a few very smooth love letters during my time, but that question stumped me. "What's a blog?" I wondered. And, upon asking six veteran journalists, "What's a blog?" I received six somewhat different answers. "If it's that vague, then I can do it!" I retorted.

So, what follows in the weeks (months?) ahead will be my blog (short for web log, come to find out!). My thoughts, my opinions, my questions, and, I suppose, bits and pieces of my life. Sometimes I'll reminisce about the past, and sometimes I'll wonder about the future. Hopefully, you the reader will join in, comment, inspire me, agree or disagree with me. Your thoughts count too!
