Time to Call It a Night

Posted August 31, 2011 By Dave Thomer

Celebrated the last day of my summer vacation by taking a trip with the family to Sesame Place. A couple of dunks later, I’m pretty much wiped out. I am looking forward to starting a new school year tomorrow. I’m hoping that the planning and research I did over the summer will help my students and me get off to a good start. I’m wishing that I had finished a few more projects, but I’m proud of the ones I finished. One of those completed goals is making a daily post on Not News in August, and since I’m completing that goal tonight, I feel justified in going a little bit meta. Taking at least one thought and developing it into written form is a habit I want to stay in, and I certainly have plenty of those left to develop. So stay tuned for discussions of baseball’s lessons for a problem-solving future, what my college experience gave me, why time travel is usually a flawed storytelling device, and more. See, now I’ve promised those stories, so I have to write ’em.

But for tonight, it’s time to wish the summer farewell and get ready to turn the page to fall. See you on the flip side.
