And Yet I Live
Can it be? One year, one week since my last post here on Logical Operator.
The long hiatus has two sources. First, it was a busy year - it was the Year of Tenure, during which my focus was on evaluation, preparation of my tenure portfolio, and deadline-meeting. Such activities occupied quite a bit of my time; time I could not spend updating the Logical Operator.
In the end, I did receive tenure. I will be a fixture ’round here for quite a while, I hope.
However, more influential in my lack of effort has been the fact that I’ve felt like I had little to say. The controlled chaos of the past year left me feeling greatly out of the loop in the field (not only had I not had time to write for my blog; I had no time to read other blogs or really much of anything), and the mechanics of the tenure process left me without focus.
So, for the…two? three? readers I may have, this isn’t an attempt to make excuses, but more of an explanation: I did not have much to say, so I chose not to say anything. Better be thought a fool, and all that.
