It's been ages since my last confession, father and mother and brothers and sisters, but I've been teaching and studying and riding my bike and sampling beers from around the Big Apple...
Nonetheless I am here to post a little something about what's been going on and wish all the bloggers out there a great summer '04.
This teaching year has just about ended, with just two blow off days left of lunches with a publisher guy and some cleaning up around the school. It was a good year. Compared to the previous year it was great. I will be back in the fall. I'm happy enough here in The Bronx.
Teachers College officially ends for me July 1st. I'm taking writing fiction class, which is going well. We're doing short stories mainly. It's a nice way to end the M.A. coure work.
I'm off to Chicago for a week over July 4th. Then I'll be back for less than a week in NYC before I take off to Europe for a month and a half. I'm following the Tour de France for a week or so, hanging out on the beach on the Riviera, going to Spain, Ireland, and at least one other country (maybe Czech Republic). I can hardly wait to get it all under way. I think this will be the best Tour in history. Follow it all on OLN TV on cable or http://www.cyclingnews.com/. Look for the guy screaming his head off with the Irish flag on the side of the road. Yes, there's an Irish ride in the Tour this year!!
Hope all you blogheads are well. Enjoy the summer break. And for all you non-teachers who have to work this summer--HA!
