Well kids, guess what? I got a p/t teaching gig for the spring. Which means I now have to get organized and start prepping for the class. It’s an American politics class, and I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to approach it. I have some ideas, but right now it’s all in the very early planning stage. Anyway, what all this means is that my blog is going to change. I won’t blame you if you decide to bail on me, but just know that this will start to be a place where I do more academic stuff (I know, bor-ing!). But I’ve reached a point where I’m making some changes, and it just seems that what I have planned is a natural progression reflecting those changes.
So, stay tuned (or thanks for reading). 😀

I’m so glad to hear it’s a spring gig! Oh and what a great time to be teaching on politics. Or maybe… it depends on November I guess. Either way, YAY!
Um… I understand the change in direction, but does this mean no mix six?

October 13, 2008 at 9:39 pmI’ll miss the more personal side of the blog…but I think you’re doing the right thing. You need to focus on academia right now, and this is a good way to do so. 🙂 Yay, you!

October 14, 2008 at 7:21 amCongrats Dr. Ted. I hope this works into a full time position. I know you have to put your time in, but it is a good move. Teaching is a lot more fun than the rat race.

I saw where you left the comment about “how people are starting to cancel cable TV” on J’s blog!
I didn’t cancel mine completely, but I cut it back to the bare minimum ( basic service ). It cut my cable bill from $103.82 to $53.68 and that will buy a good tank of gas!
Of course $46.95 of the bill is for my “Road Runner” service which I will not do without!
Glad to know I’m not the only one out there cutting back!
