Reduce!

I found this in my drafts. I was thinking about writing a blog post about my online DJ gig and it seems I had. So here it is! As I close in on finishing episode 48 of my podcast, it occurs to me that perhaps I might be trying to do too much. I recallContinue reading “Reduce!”

Fame? Why, Yes!

After months of prep and meetings, we did our presentations on our performances in ATHEMOO from back in the 1990s. You can watch the presentations here. For me the most gratifying part was not doing my presentation for an online audience, or even having it saved for posterity. Nor was it being recognized for workContinue reading “Fame? Why, Yes!”

And Then…

I forgot. It had been my intention to create a blog post every Monday, talking about my creative projects, the move into retirement, whatever was happening in my life. And then with all the preparation for a new patio area, I forgot. Fortunately, the mats we put down with the grass seed are in factContinue reading “And Then…”

Another Podcast?

A few years ago I was at a podcast conference, and someone said, “So when you start working on your second podcast…” I thought that was the craziest thing, because I barely had time for one podcast. And then, that evening I started formulating my second podcast. It was called “ALegUp4Caregivers,” reflecting once again myContinue reading “Another Podcast?”

Where to…?

The latest episode of Audio Chimera is now available. #46: “Migration” briefly mentions changing operating systems and transmigration, and talks a little about computer dating and finding a new love, but the key topic is really immigration. Other than xenophobia, I’m uncertain why so many oppose immigration. As I state in the episode, it seemsContinue reading “Where to…?”

Almost There…

I did some rearranging in the home office, and now have close to my professional mic set-up once again. This is in preparation for more Kid Again episodes as well as the last two episodes of Audio Chimera season 4. I’m currently editing episode 46: “Migration” (about immigration, but of course I range beyond that.)Continue reading “Almost There…”

Cleaning Up/Out

This weekend, I had two dreams about cleaning out my school/campus office. This comes right after I did in fact clean out my most recent campus office. Was it a bittersweet moment leaving it behind? Actually, no; it was just another step towards retirement. Although the actual process of cleaning out my office took severalContinue reading “Cleaning Up/Out”

Soon…soon…

The reason, or excuse, that I’ve been giving for the lack of new podcast episodes has been: time. The last semester of my teaching career has been incredibly busy. But now, as retirement creeps in, I get to have that one valuable resource that I’ve needed for so long. Currently, though, I have no goodContinue reading “Soon…soon…”

Which of These Things Is Not Like the Other?

So I “unofficially” started my retirement yesterday—May 1! May Day! And yet it somehow doesn’t seem exactly real, for a few reasons. First of all, my official retirement date is August 31, the real 17-years-after-starting cut-off date. Also, I haven’t begun the whole medicare, social security, and pension dance yet. But finally, the real reasonContinue reading “Which of These Things Is Not Like the Other?”

Ever Nearer the End…

As we enter finals week of my last semester of teaching before retirement, I find myself frequently reflecting on the idea of my legacy. If you’ve listened to my podcast, you know my greatest fear is to be forgotten. And so, recalling ways that my memory lives on in my last position is important toContinue reading “Ever Nearer the End…”
