A Rare Textual Post
Some small number of people may have noticed that this page has not been updated recently. There are a couple reasons for this.
First, I was working very hard to finish up an End-of-Year presentation to close out my time as an AmeriCorps VISTA member. That presentation took the form of two videos, which can be viewed here.
A few days after my sleepless presentation day, my daughter was born a bit early but healthy and normal on July 21 at 12:02. Cricket Pearl, as you may imagine, now consumes a lot of time (which is great).

Nevertheless, I plan to keep this tumblr blog updated, as much as possible. I am also working on a longer story about a horse, a small something about bowling and I am almost certainly starting a year-long project on “Teachers At Home” this September. On top of all that, I am taking a “genealogy for librarians” class this semester which may help uncover some interesting family stories.
A few things are certain:
- Life will never be the same
- There will be no shortage of material for this blog
- I better learn to take my own documentary photography, and fast!
