Plinky and Other Stuff

This is probably old hat to many in the blogosphere, but I had never heard of Plinky until I read this article in Sunday's New York Times. I have been a bad blogger in the last few months, and part of my problem is I feel I don't have anything to blog about, so this site would help me. Plinky gives you a topic to write about each day. Today's topic is: When was the last time you went 'woo hoo' and meant it?

Well, I have two answers to that question from recent times: One was when I found out on May 29 that my latest book has gone into production! And before that, on May 4 when I found out that our offer on a new home had been accepted. Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!

Needless to say, we've been a little busy over the last few months. But never too busy to blog. What was I thinking? I know from my stats that there are many people looking at my web site, so I need to be a better blogger. One thing that I need to remember is that blog posts don't have to be long; I don't need to compose some kind of masterpiece (each time.) So, with that, I will sign off!

Greetings, William! I'm one of the lucky peers who reviewed your manuscript, and I loved it! I think educators will find it useful and eye-opening. Congratulations on a terrific publication!
