Too busy to blog!

What an excellent school I have found. What a vibrant city. What engaging colleagues. What polite students. Life is good.

Busy, but good. Challenging, but good. Noisy, but good. Frustrating, sometimes, but good.

The thing is, with scrambling to put our family's life together here in Morocco, navigating a vertical learning curve on both a personal and professional front (not around broad philosophical questions, or around my understanding of "how to be an effective instructional leader," but around things like, "where do I get a three-hole punch--oh, we don't use three holes, we use four with A4 paper...so then, how do I make a photocopy...I can't until the photocopier technician gets back from vacation?"...etc.), and with working hard to get teachers and students off to a good start this school year, I notice I have not posted to my blog in over a month.

I'm sure all my readers are sorely disappointed.

Just as my (analog) real-time, real-stuff, real life is in disarray, so is my digital life. I have a daily electronic newsletter for my teachers (which I am tentatively titling "Patrick's Ponderings" for lack of a better idea), an Ed-line page, a long-neglected personal website, a Facebook page, this blogspot, at least three active e-mail accounts beside the one at school, and still-active accounts associated with my Reedsport principalship.

And probably some other things I can't remember right now.

Please be patient as I unpack my boxes. My real cardboard boxes, of books, clothes, toys, and bizarre things that I have no idea why we packed, and, my virtual boxes of digital life, all over cyberspace.

Please remind ME to be patient as I unpack my boxes.

I'm sure it will all be sorted out soon.

Or, maybe not.

The last couple of posts were about roundabouts.  Traffic circles.  Like the one at the intersection of West Hills and 53rd.  The only round...
