A morning walk on the shore, a stop on the way home. I’ve been on the road for ten of the last 11 days, I hope the dog wags when I get home.

And just like that, we were done. Time to head east and see what’s on the back roads to see, maybe play with some focus placement.

Questions, so many questions – every one valued.
And then we hit the beach …

For a dozen years, I’ve been part of an event at the Poynter Institute focused on helping college professors get better at teaching. I started as a presenter and then became a co-organizer – and it is the most terrifying thing I do each year. Trying to figure out how to help my peers be better is one thing, actually standing in front of them is another.
But I love this program, deeply love what it stands for and how we’ve built it up. After two years online, it was so nice to see the inflatable palm trees and hear the room full of voices again.

The message came in mid-morning – a friend hadn’t made a flight, was re-routing to Orlando, two hours away. Of course I’ll make that run.
Weather was atrocious on the way east, but that evening we got together and laughed heartily – I have missed these Poynter pals greatly.

Heading south for a return to the Poynter Institute, took the back-roads through Florida just to see something other than interstate. And what I saw was at time challenging.
The day did end with a wonderful meal with wonderful friends I had not seen in far too long.

We’ve been fostering Barkley for almost four months and his wheelchair just came in. Took a bit, but he now takes off when we roll him down the road. He’s available for adoption at Athens Canine Rescue. Still needs some work, but he’s a sweet little guy.
